Gerotranscendence and motivation for work past retirement age [Elektronski vir] : a cross-sectional studyBratun, Urša ; Gerdina, Otto ; Asaba, EricUsually, work beyond retirement is seen as part of the active and healthy aging paradigm. However, during the work-to-retirement transition, some people can experience activity and value ... re-prioritization, which might align more closely with the theory of gerotranscendence. The aim of the present cross-sectional study was to explore the concept of gerotranscendence in a group of retirement-aged workers (n = 219) and determine the relationship between gerotranscendence and motivation for work beyond retirement. To collect data, the Slovenian version of a 4-point Gerotranscendence Scale with 10 items (GTS-10) was used for the first time. Principal component analysis of the GTS-10 suggested that the internal structure of the Slovenian version of the GTS-10 corresponded to the original scale. Gerotranscendence was predicted by the presence of meaningful activities in a person’s life (β = 0.184, p = .006) and uninterrupted pattern of life (β = 0.343, p < .001). The workers’ motivation for prolonged work activity was influenced by a sense of autonomy and mastery engagement in work provided (β = 0.214, p = .008) as well as by Cosmic transcendence (β = 0.192, p = .005). Workers’ social relations were characterized by enjoying being with others and meeting new people, which is contrary to the theory of gerotranscendence. The study suggests that gerotranscendence can be relevant in understanding workers’ motivation for prolonged work activity. However, there might be nuances of the concept specific to the studied population and cultural context.Source: Educational gerontology (Online) [Elektronski vir]. - ISSN 1521-0472 (Vol. , no. , 2024, str. 1-18)Type of material - e-article ; adult, seriousPublish date - 2024Language - englishCOBISS.SI-ID - 200372227
