现有的退休文献主要关注影响退休决策的因素和一般的退休决策过程。虽然这些方法扩展了我们对退休决策的理解，但我们提出了一个意义构建的视角，将我们的注意力集中在人们对触发退休决策的因素的主观意义上，而不仅仅是因素本身。因此，我们认为退休决策过程受到情境约束和身份工作的限制。基于对48位加拿大退休高管和经理的访谈，我们使用主题叙事分析来识别六种类型的职业生涯结束叙事。根据这些叙述，我们提出了一个身份工作模型，该模型区分了被视为身份机会的退休决策因素和被视为身份威胁的退休决策因素。我们的研究结果有助于学术地理解结束职业生涯过程中的主观意义和身份考虑。
The extant retirement literature primarily focuses on factors that influence the decision to retire and the generic retirement decision‐making process. While these approaches have extended our understanding of retirement decision‐making, we propose a sensemaking perspective that orients our attention towards the subjective meanings people attach to the factors that trigger the retirement decision, rather than simply the factors themselves. Accordingly, we see the retirement decision‐making process as bounded by situational constraints and rooted in identity work. Based on interviews with 48 retired Canadian executives and managers, we use thematic narrative analysis to identify six types of end‐of‐career narratives. Drawing on these narratives, we present a model of identity work that distinguishes between retirement decision‐making factors that are perceived as identity opportunities and those that are perceived as identity threats. Our findings contribute to scholarly understanding of subjective meanings and identity considerations in the process of ending one's career.
