Abstract

A diverse sample of unemployed respondents completed an online survey investigating the impact of demographic, personality, and job reattainment variables on their unemployment-delayed retirement intent (UDRI). The authors found that being unemployed for a longer time period, older, having more dependents to support, in greater denial of recent job loss, as well perceiving poor job re-attainment prospects were each related to higher UDRI. Poor job reattainment was measured using two separate items: perceptions of obtaining another job that would not be as good and taking time, and perceptions that there was no end in sight to unemployment. The results have implications for Employee Assistance Plans.
