在当代工作场所，洞察退休行为至关重要。以往的经验证据发现，工作态度，如工作满意度和退休行为之间的关系喜忧参半的结果，这表明进一步的学术研究纳入调节和中介变量退休模型是必要的。利用退休态度的比较模型，我们假设工作满意度和预期退休年龄之间的直接关系，高家庭收入的工人和工作满意度和预期退休年龄之间的间接关系，通过退休态度，低或平均家庭收入的工人。我们收集了590名50岁以上的英国工人的样本数据。使用条件过程分析，我们发现，在我们的研究模型的基础机制根据社会经济地位不同。我们发现工作满意度和预期退休年龄之间没有直接影响。然而，间接影响之间的工作满意度和预期的退休年龄，通过退休的态度，低收入和平均家庭收入的个人。具体而言，工作满意度和退休态度之间的关系根据社会经济群体而不同：对于高家庭收入的老年工人，工作满意度和退休态度之间没有关系。然而，对于低收入和中等家庭收入的老年工人，我们观察到工作满意度和退休态度之间的负相关关系。换句话说，对于平均和低家庭收入的工人来说，工作满意度的提高可能会使退休的前景变得不那么有吸引力。因此，我们认为，必须最大限度地关注低收入雇员在年老时继续工作的条件，以保护他们的可持续就业能力。
In the contemporary workplace, insight into retirement behaviors is of crucial importance. Previous empirical evidence has found mixed results regarding the relationship between work attitudes, such as job satisfaction, and retirement behaviors, suggesting that further scholarly examination incorporating moderating and mediating variables into retirement models is needed. Drawing on comparative models of attitude to retirement, we hypothesized a direct relationship between job satisfaction and intended retirement age for workers with a high household income and an indirect relationship between job satisfaction and intended retirement age, via retirement attitude, for workers with a low or mean household income. We collected data from a sample of 590 United Kingdom workers aged 50+. Using conditional process analysis, we found that the underlying mechanisms in our research model differ according to socio-economic status. We found no direct effect between job satisfaction and intended retirement age. However, an indirect effect was observed between job satisfaction and intended retirement age, via retirement attitude, for both low- and mean-household income individuals. Specifically, the relationship between job satisfaction and retirement attitude differed according to socio-economic group: for high-household income older workers, there was no relationship between job satisfaction and retirement attitude. However, for low- and mean-household income older workers, we observed a negative relationship between job satisfaction and retirement attitude. Otherwise stated, increases in job satisfaction for mean and low household income workers are likely to make the prospect of retirement less attractive. Therefore, we argue that utmost care must be taken around the conditions under which lower income employees will continue their work when getting older in order to protect their sustainable employability.
