Abstract
Resources are central to both the challenges posed by aging workforces, as well as the strategies that can be used to manage these challenges. This study aims to contribute to the literature on resources and aging at work by providing a novel person-centered approach to resources in late working life. Using Latent Profile Analysis with data from the Household Income and Labour Dynamics Australia (HILDA) Panel Survey, and an extensive typology of resources drawn from the resources literature, five distinct resource profiles are identified in the 50-70 year old Australian worker sample (N = 1361). Differences were found between the five distinct resource profiles on mean intended retirement age, perceived employability, job and life satisfaction 1-year later. Occupational status, gender and marital status were found to significantly decrease the likelihood of belonging to a resource profile with high levels of resources in one or more resource categories. Theoretical implications of these findings for key concepts in the resource and aging at work literatures including successful aging and sustainable employability are discussed.
