Personal mobility as a predictor of professional health and well-being in old age

Abstract

Pension reform and the extension of the period of active work affect the physical and psychological properties of a person, his professional health and well-being. The role of personal determinants in ensuring professional development in old age, including personal mobility, is increasing, which initiates the need for its scientific analysis. The methodological basis of the study is an integrative approach. The content and structure of the phenomena studied were determined by the inductive conceptualization of empirical data. As a result of the study, a theoretical model of conjugacy of personal mobility and professional health is constructed. Based on the results obtained, it is proved that mobility can be considered as a predictor of maintaining professional health because, due to the multidimensionality of its structure, it covers the individual psychological characteristics of an elderly persons, and their manifestations in activity and life satisfaction in general. Variants of this conjugation depend on the period of late adulthood, on the characteristics of professional status and social conditions of life. © 2019 LLC Ecological Help. All rights reserved.
