Abstract
Abolished mandatory retirement, progressive aging of the Baby-Boomer cohort, and the
general trend toward longevity have prompted Governments and social-security systems
around the world to shift the financial responsibility of retirement from the state to the
individual. More research is needed around individual propensities to engage in the
retirement planning process, and workplace conditions that might facilitate or debilitate the
intention to retire. Evidence consistently indicates that many individuals are insufficiently
prepared for their life after retirement. Consideration of the multiple personal, work and
social factors involved in retirement planning suggests that Organisational Psychologists are
ideally placed to determine how such factors are likely to inhibit or promote retirement
planning, and to use these to inform effective interventions and encourage resource
accumulation before and during retirement.
