Early retirement decisions, salience and psychological well-being of flight attendants after 9/11
Abstract
An examination of the effect of present subjective well-being and role salience of flight attendants was conducted. Participants in the study were 101 retired and 8 active flight attendants from one airline. Participants experienced unanticipated retirement options following the events of September 11, 2001 and the ensuing economic crisis experienced by the airline industry. A short demographic questionnaire, the survey instruments Scales of Psychological Well-Being and The Salience Inventory were administered via the Internet. Discriminant analyses were conducted to examine the relationship between the events of 9/11 and the self-reported psychological well-being and role salience of the group. A second examination explored the relationship between the perceived effects of the retirement incentive package and the self-reported psychological well-being and role salience of the group. Significant correlations were observed.
