dc.description.abstractThis study explores to what extent older employees’ future time perspective is associated with their motivation to continue working and whether this association is moderated by disruptive private life events and maintenance HR practices. It is expected that future time perspective is positively associated with the motivation to continue working. Furthermore, it is expected that this association is weakened by disruptive private life events that older employees’ have to cope with. Lastly, maintenance HR practices are anticipated to weaken the adverse effect of disruptive private life events on the association between older employees’ FTP and their motivation to continue working. To test these hypotheses, quantitative data was collected via an online questionnaire resulting in a sample of 154 participants of 41 years or above. The results of this study indicated that older employees’ FTP is positively associated with their motivation to continue working. Contrary to expectations, the disruptiveness of private life events did not significantly affect the association between older employees’ FTP and their motivation to continue working. Furthermore, the results showed that maintenance HR practices do not significantly weaken the effect of disruptive private life events on the association between older employees’ FTP and their motivation to continue workingen_US
