Predictors of Acceptance of Early Retirement Offers for Workers

Predictors of Acceptance of Early Retirement Offers for Workers

Bernadette Schell, Rolland Lebrasseur et Robert Renaud

Volume : 44-2 (1989)

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether previously identified socio-demographic, psychographic, health state, financial state, and attitudinal variables could successfully discriminate blue-collar workers in the resource industries in Northern Ontario who accepted companies' retirement offers from those who rejected them. Such a discriminant function was developed and discussed. The «hit rate» was an impressive 76%.
