| Abstract: | This study examines the impact of three organizational policies on applicant attraction of 120 older workers (here as: o-wrkrs.) with an interest in bridge employment, that is, work after formal retirement. Using a mock newspaper ad to manipulate policies, scheduling flexibility, and a targeted equal employment opportunity (EEO) statement positively influenced o-wrkrs.' attraction to the organization, while opportunities to transfer knowledge had little impact. A significant and positive 3-way interaction suggested that o-wrkrs. are sensitive to the strength of the overall message such that the effects of all three policies when seen together were greater than the sum of their individual effects. |
