title: Organizational involvement as a correlate of relocation adjustment amongst elderly movers to Israel.
abstract: Voluntary environmental relocation in the later years of life necessitates the reestablishment of a sense of self in relation to the new surroundings as a requisite to satisfactory adjustment and the maintenance of morale. A sample of 223 relocators to Israel were surveyed, the focus being upon the significance of organizational (formal) and intimate, non-obligatory (informal) activity involvements for relocation adjustment. Of the two activity clusters, only involvement in formal activities was found to be significantly correlated with an index of adjustment.
