Abstract
It is important to create a satisfying work environment for senior people in a society with a long life expectancy. This study emphasizes the importance of seniors’ self-evaluations of their own skills in order to enhance their task-specific self-esteem, and examines the effect of their work values on their skill evaluations using data collected from 1,200 Japanese people aged 55 years and above. A hierarchical regression analysis revealed that the intrinsic work values of senior people positively influenced their evaluations of problem solving, human relations, and mastery of life skills; furthermore, extrinsic work values had a positive effect on the latter two evaluations even after controlling the effects of some demographic and attitudinal variables. Some implications for future study are also discussed.
