Motivational Factors Influencing Return to Work

Abstract
Data on the return-ta-work rates of people who experience mid-career disabilities indicate an increase in the rate of early retirement. Motivation to resume work or to retire due to disability is directly influenced by the person's careful consideration of three factors-probability of a successful outcome, utility of the outcome, and costs associated with certain actions. Findings from the return-ta-work literature are summarized via the three motivational concepts; implications for return-ta-work interventions are stressed.
