| Annotation | This article investigates the impact of a firm's workforce characteristics, personnel practices, and external environment attributes on the likelihood that a company provides post-retirement income and health care benefits. Using data from a US national stratified random sample of 935 companies with 20 or more employees, logistic regression models were estimated to explore the impact of these three sets of variables on benefit provision. Results indicate that workforce characteristics and personnel management practices contribute considerably to the likelihood that these benefits are provided and that the impact of some of the more global characteristics, such as industry, diminishes in a fuller predictive model. |
