Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between aspects of pre-retirement occupation, current self-related health (SRH) and life satisfaction, in a sample of retired men and women. The results revealed positive and significant correlations between scores on a life satisfaction measure and SRH, retirement stress, and retirement adjustment (all p<.001). A path analysis indicated aspects of previous employment that may predict an adverse influence on current satisfaction, for example, the stress of managing subordinates. We believe that many of the adverse effects of pre-retirement occupation can be helped or avoided through appropriate interventions, including retirement preparation and training.
