Retirement researchers have made several important advances in their field in recent years that represent a shift from examining retirement through an economic to a psychological perspective. Retirement is not simply a one-time decision-making event; rather, it represents a process through which workers decrease their psychological commitment to work and behaviorally withdraw from the workforce. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eApproaching retirement from this perspective, \u003cem\u003eThe Oxford Handbook of Retirement\u003c\/em\u003e offers comprehensive, up-to-date, and forward-thinking summaries of contemporary knowledge on retirement. The approach is interdisciplinary, spanning human resource management, organizational psychology, development psychology, gerontology, sociology, public health, and economics. The chapters assembled in this volume are organized into five parts, providing comprehensive coverage conceptualizations of retirement from multiple disciplines; existing theoretical perspectives and research findings on retirement, including adult development, career development, organizational and management, and economic perspectives; current and future challenges in retirement research and practice; and recommendations and suggestions for prospective areas of research. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAssembling expertly authored chapters from leaders in the field, this volume provides a comprehensive summary on the knowledge domain of retirement useful for students, academics, and retirement researchers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mo Wang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199746524\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199746521\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 7.20w x 1.40d","brand":"Mo Wang","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43914291347711,"sku":"9780199746521","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_75f2deff-c9e9-4a18-99b5-88c8633dad93.jpg?v=1680641452","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/oxford-handbook-of-retirement-mo-wang-9780199746521","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
