| Annotation | The proposition that workers who have highly rewarding jobs are less likely to engage in retirement planning behaviours is examined. Specifically, three types of work-related rewards - intrinsic enjoyment, positive social relations, and opportunities for promotion in the workplace - were hypothesised to hold negative relationships with retirement planning. Jobs high in ascendance were related to an increase in certain types of retirement planning, but jobs high in intrinsic rewards and positive social relations were related to less planning, regardless of how planning was defined. The findings suggest that information about work-related rewards may be useful in targeting individuals who might benefit from retirement planning programmes, in developing planning programmes to help workers realise more complex retirement plans, and in assisting employers who hope to retain older workers.
