Abstract

This study tested the path model with regard to how certain variables (control attribution, demand-control-support ofactivity, and control strategy) affected the elderly workers’ subjective well-being(swb). In the path model, the exogenousvariables were internal and external control attribution. We used demand-control-support of activity, and primary andsecondary control strategies as mediating variables. The endogenous variable was each elderly worker’s swb. Studyparticipants were 205 elders participating in an “education activity”. We used descriptive statistical analysis, Pearson’scorrelation and hierarchical multiple regression to examine data collected from structured interviews with theparticipants. Path analysis revealed the followings: First, secondary control strategy was the strongest predictor ofparticipants’ swb but internal control attribution, demand of activity, and support of activity also positively affectedparticipants’ swb. Second, internal control attribution indirectly affected the participants’ swb. Finally primary controlstrategy negatively affected on the participants’ swb.± ¯ ,FZ8PSET¢KLW; 5 EW(the elderly worker), >EK(control attribution), ³-‘z-NN}(demand-control-support model), >yU(control strategy), ±™x ‰žE(subjectivewell-being)
