Late-career workers must remain employed for longer, but in doing so face the unique challenge of remaining active and productive at work while not disregarding the need to maintain health and plan for retirement, both of which are necessary for work longevity and successful aging. This study investigated whether work engagement, a motivator of proactive behavior in the work domain, would exhibit a dark side by acting as a de-motivator of proactive behavior in the health and retirement domains. Results from 1917 participants showed that one dimension of engagement, vigor, was positively associated with proactivity across domains. In contrast, absorption, although positively related to proactive behavior at work, was associated with fewer health behaviors and was unrelated to retirement planning.

老员工敬业度的阴暗面

后期职业必须保持更长的就业时间，但是这样做面临着保持活跃和高效的工作同时又不忽视保持健康和退休计划的独特挑战，这对于延长工作寿命和成功衰老都是必不可少的。这项研究调查了工作投入（在工作领域中积极主动的行为者）是否会通过充当健康和退休领域中主动行为的动机者而表现出阴暗面。来自1917年参与者的结果表明，参与度的一个维度即活力与跨领域的积极性正相关。相反，吸收虽然与工作中的积极行为呈正相关，但与较少的健康行为相关，与退休计划无关。
