| Abstract | A conceptual model examining the antecedents and outcomes of occupational self-efficacy among the older f workforce is presented. Proposed antecedents to occupational self-efficacy included self-perceived stereotypes and work demands. Outcomes explored are one's intention to continue in the same career, retire, or engage in some form of bridge employment. In addition, past predictors of retirement/employment decisions such as age, health, and income were utilized, in order to determine whether or not occupational self-efficacy aids in intention prediction over and above demographic variables. In total, five hypotheses were proposed and two were supported. For example, the more negative one's self-perceived age stereotype, the lower one scored on all three dimensions of the occupational self-efficacy scale. Furthermore, those with higher performance occupational self-efficacy were 5.21 times more likely to intend to engage in bridge employment than to retire. Additional results, implications, and future research areas are discussed. |
