The Roles of Job-Related Psychosocial Factors and Work Meaningfulness in Promoting Nurses’ Bridge Employment Intentions

Abstract

This study examined the relationships between preretirement job-related psychosocial factors (i.e., generativity opportunities, workplace incivility, and relational job crafting) and older workers’ bridge employment intentions, as well as the mechanism (i.e., work meaningfulness) underlying these relationships. A sample of 384 nurses who were 50 years old or older was used to test the hypothesized relationships. The results indicated that workplace incivility and relational job crafting, but not generativity opportunities, were significantly and directly related to bridge employment intentions. The associations of workplace incivility and relational job crafting with bridge employment intentions were partially mediated by work meaningfulness, and the relationship between generativity opportunities and bridge employment intentions was fully mediated by work meaningfulness. Implications of these findings and future directions were discussed.
