过桥就业的日益普及引发了人们对其对成年后期福祉的影响的质疑。本研究探讨了过渡就业对退休过渡期老年人生活满意度水平的影响。生活满意度的变化被认为是接受桥梁工作的不同意图和动机的函数。此外，以退出职业工作的自愿性为条件，对过桥就业的影响进行了实证检验。使用条件变化模型对荷兰退休人员 (N = 1248) 的面板数据进行了调查。结果表明，与不考虑过渡工作的完全退休人员相比，愿意延长职业生涯但无法找到过渡工作的老年人的生活满意度较低。此外，与基于内在动机的退休后工作相比，出于经济动机参与过渡就业与生活满意度下降相关。此外，与自愿退休相比，非自愿退休不利于生活满意度，但参与过渡工作可以减轻这种负面冲击。这些发现有助于理解各种退休后就业轨迹对老年人的影响。版权所有 (c) 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
The increased popularity of bridge employment has raised questions about its consequences for well-being in late adult life. This research explored the consequences of bridge employment for the level of life satisfaction of older adults during the retirement transition period. Changes in life satisfaction were considered to be a function of the different intentions and motives for taking bridge jobs. Furthermore, the impact of bridge employment was empirically examined conditional on the voluntariness of the exit from the career job. Panel data on Dutch retirees (N = 1248) were investigated using conditional change models. The results demonstrate that older adults willing to prolong their work careers but unable to find bridge jobs reported lower levels of life satisfaction compared with full retirees not considering bridge employment. In addition, participation in bridge employment for financial motives was associated with decreases in life satisfaction compared with postretirement working based on intrinsic motives. Moreover, compared with voluntary retirement, involuntary retirement was detrimental to life satisfaction, but participation in a bridge job was found to mitigate this negative shock. These findings contribute to the understanding of the consequences of various postretirement employment trajectories for older individuals. Copyright (c) 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
