Literature Review
Employee motivation is an essential topic in the field of human resources. Numerous studies have been
conducted on the topic, and various approaches to employee motivation have been proposed. However,
one area of employee motivation that has received relatively little attention is the effect of different
employee motivation programs on post-retirement plans. The purpose of this literature is to examine the
research that has been conducted on this topic and to identify gaps in the current body of knowledge. A
search of the scholarly literature yielded a limited number of studies that have examined the effect of
different types of employee motivation programs on post-retirement plans. One study by Johnson and
colleagues (2008) found that employees who participated in a goal-setting program were more likely to
enroll in a post-retirement savings plan than employees who did not participate in the program. Another
study by Lee and Cheng (2011) found that employees who participated in a work-life balance program
were more likely to enroll in a post-retirement savings plan than employees who did not participate in the
program. These two studies suggest that different employee motivation programs can affect post-
retirement plans. However, there is a need for more research in this area in order to fully understand the
effect of different types of employee motivation programs on post-retirement plans. In particular, more
research is needed on the specific types of programs that are most effective in motivating employees to
enroll in post-retirement savings plans. Additionally, more research is needed on the long-term effects of
different types of employee motivation programs on post-retirement plans.
Research questions
What are the different types of employee motivation programs that organizations offer?
Do these programs have an effect on employee's decision to enroll in a post-retirement plan?
If so, what is the nature of this effect? Does it vary depending on the type of motivation program?
What other factors (besides motivation programs) affect an employee's decision to enroll in a
post-retirement plan?
Expected Outcome
The expected outcome of research on the effect of different types of employee motivation programs on
post-retirement plans is that the programs will have a positive effect on employees' post-retirement plans.
The programs may include financial incentives, such as matching contributions to retirement savings
accounts, or non-financial incentives, such as flexible work arrangements or opportunities to continue
working in a part-time capacity. The research may also find that the type of employee motivation program
is less important than the overall level of motivation that it provides.
