title: The work-satisfaction, retirement-attitude typology: profile examination.
abstract: After a typology is developed based on work satisfaction and attitude toward retirement, profiles are examined of respondents appearing in four typological categories. Data at three points in time (1964, 1966, 1974) from 1,922 older (50+) employed males suggest that membranes of some types will be more susceptible to negative consequences of life-cycle change (work to retirement) than others. Findings from socioeconomic status, age, social participation, health, community, housing, family, work, morale, and longevity variables indicate pre-retirement planning approaches should be developed for those having different work-retirement attitudes.
