As the German retirement pay system is a pay-as-you-go system, legal retirement age is increased step by step to 67 years. Long before individuals actually retire, environmental factors but also personal factors influence the path of the retirement process. Work ability can be maintained through continuing education. Understanding and possibly even increasing older employees’ motivation to participate in continuing education is vital to achieving the European Union’s aim of individuals’ “lifelong learning” to cope with challenges of technological and organisational change. This empirical study analyses the influence of work context factors on motivation to participate in continuing education. Data source is the “Survey on continuing in employment after reaching pensionable age”, commissioned in 2008 by the Bundesinstitut für Bevölkerungsforschung (Federal Institute for Population Research). Results show weak but significant influences of some work context factors. Recommendations for actions and further research directions are given.

Using data from the nationally representative ‘Survey on continuing in employment in pensionable age’, we investigate the relevance of training motivation for work ability and the desire to work past retirement age and whether differences between social groups reflect inequalities in training participation. Results show significant positive correlations between continuing training motivation and work ability and desire to work past retirement age. Differentiated for selected respondent groups the level of qualification has a significant influence. This effect was stronger than any differences with regard to gender or employment participation. Results imply external conditions only partly explain older workers’ work ability or desire to work past retirement age. Compared to inequalities in training participation, motivation for continuing training is high across analysed subgroups.

In our pilot study, we want to explore the processes how the desired retirement age is influenced by age discrimination and see psychological empowerment as an important mediator for the relationship between these variables. Data stem from an online questionnaire completed by 130 employees from different organizations in Germany (all 50 years or older). Our results show that age discrimination is an antecedent for the desired retirement age. It has a direct as well as an indirect (via psychological empowerment) effect on the desired retirement age.

As expected, age discrimination is more prominent in Germany where the hiring probability of equally qualified applicants is reduced by about 22 percentage points due to an age differential of 14 years as opposed to only 12 percentage points in Norway. Within both countries the tendency to discriminate does not differ between students and personnel managers and does not depend on the age of the decision maker.

V. A1 - Königstein, Manfred T1 - Hiring Chances are Bad for Older Workers JF - Management Online Review N2 - It is often claimed that work opportunities decline with age, that hiring chances of older persons are poor. We investigate this by collecting questionnaire responses from personnel managers of German manufacturing firms, eliciting a hypothetical hiring decision based on three fictitious candidates. We rely on an age-neutral job and a small age-gap of 14 years between the youngest and the oldest candidate. The quasi-experimental design of the questionnaire allows us to control for possible productivity differences and other economic explanations for declining hiring chances. The data show a 60 percentage point difference in hiring probabilities between the youngest and oldest candidate.

Untersuchungen zur Erwerbstätigkeit und zum Engagement im zivilgesellschaftlichen und familialen Bereich zeigen einerseits ein relatives hohes Tätigkeitsniveau der 55- bis 70-Jährigen in Deutschland. Andererseits ist diesbezüglich eine starke Variabilität zwischen Individuen und sozialen Gruppen zu beobachten. Neben der wachsenden Unbestimmtheit der Übergangsphase vom Erwerbsleben in den Ruhestand beeinflussen die sozial ungleiche Chancenverteilung im Lebenslauf die Potenziale älterer Menschen. In diesem Zusammenhang wird der Potenzialbegriff als Bestandteil von Alternsstilen in einer differenzierten Form betrachtet: neben produktiven Tätigkeiten (Erwerbsarbeit, bürgerschaftliches Engagement und familiale Unterstützung), sind das „Wollen“, d. h. die Absichten, Einstellungen und Pläne sowie das „Können“, das Humankapital und Gelegenheitsstrukturen umfasst, grundlegende Dimensionen. Innerhalb dieser Bereiche und der sich daraus ergebenden gruppenspezifischen Muster sind die Rahmenbedingungen für eine Realisierung von Potenzialen älterer Menschen unterschiedlich verteilt, was zu einer Gleichzeitigkeit von Kompetenzen und Defiziten, von „produktivem“ und „konsumtivem“ Alter führen kann. Der Beitrag schließt mit einer kurzen Darstellung der Studie „Transitions and Old Age Potential (TOP)“ und deren forschungsleitenden Fragestellungen, die den empirischen Kapiteln dieses Bandes zugrunde liegt.
