| dc.description.abstract | The aging society has come, aging employees are also important assets of corporates. As people have noticed the situation of labor shortage, retention of aging employees has become the current critical issue. How to encourage these employees learn, grow, and continue to work is worth thinking.
The target of this research is aging employees. We use conservation of resources theory as our main basic theory, analyzing the problems about losing resources that aging employees may face. In addition, we use focus on opportunity as independent variable, growth motives as mediator, continue to work as dependent variable, and organizational embeddedness as moderator, respectively discussing whether “link to organization”, “fit to organization”, and “sacrifice to organization” have different outcomes on the mediation effect of growth motives or not.
This sample of this paper is ageing employees. We retrieve 382 valid questionnaires, totally 75% effective rate. The result shows the mediation effect of growth motives between focus on opportunity and continue to work is supported. There is a positive effect between independent, mediator, and dependent variable. After using bootstrapping, we found the “link to organization” is the only moderator that can significantly moderate the mediation effect of growth motives. On the contrary, the effect of “sacrifice to organization” and “ fit to organization” do not cause significant effect on mediation effect. Lastly, this research proposes management implication, expecting corporate can apply them on the issue about retaining aging employees. | en_US |
