Abstract

The purpose of this article was to determine the motivation of older people to work effectively and undertake professional activity after obtaining retirement rights, in the light of the analysis of classic motivation theories and empirical research. This article review shows that in older age the need for quality time, contact with other people, learning and mental activity, the joy of doing essential tasks, satisfaction with using one's own skills and creativity, and a sense of professional achievement are of fundamental importance. At an older age, internal factors rather than external rewards become a source of job satisfaction. To encourage motivation to work among senior citizens, they should be given the opportunity to perform tasks in contact with other people in a pleasant, stress-free and pressure-free atmosphere that leads to development and self-fulfillment.
