| Annotation | Part-time employment represents the most popular alternative work option for older workers in the US. This study examined the contributing factors to job satisfaction and commitment among lower-income, older, part-time employees. Job Satisfaction Index (JSI) scores were relatively high for all subjects and did not differ significantly for age, gender, or Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCEP) status. While not particularly low, white employees were significantly less satisfied with their employment experiences than Hispanic or African American workers. Opportunities to interact with others and stay active were more important than financial benefits in the participants' assessment of the benefits of part-time employment. (AKM). |
