    Area of Science:

    • Social Psychology
    • Gerontology
    • Industrial-Organizational Psychology

    Background:

    • Intrinsic work satisfaction significantly influences an individual's global well-being.
    • Understanding age-related shifts in work satisfaction is vital for career development and retirement planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate age-related differences in the importance of intrinsic work satisfactions as predictors of global well-being.
    • To examine how the source of work satisfaction (experience vs. consequences) changes with age for men in later career stages.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of data from the 1971 Quality of American Life survey, a national cross-sectional study.
    • Comparison of the multivariate structure of life satisfactions across four age groups of labor force participants (21-64).

    Main Results:

    • A decline in the importance of intrinsic work satisfactions for men in later labor force participation stages was observed.
    • This decline is not due to lower satisfaction levels but a shift in satisfaction derivation from work experience to its consequences.

    Conclusions:

    • Work satisfaction for aging men transitions from the process of work to its outcomes.
    • Findings have implications for early retirement policies and understanding late-career work attitudes.
