This study examines how idiosyncratic deals (I-deals) affect older workers' preferred retirement age. Drawing on basic psychological needs theory, we specifically investigate the role of need satisfaction at work in explaining this relationship. By means of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM), our hypotheses were tested in a sample of 4234 employees aged 65 years or older in a large public-sector organization in Sweden. The findings suggest that employees with negotiated I-deals concerning schedule flexibility or financial incentives experienced greater need satisfaction and preferred to retire later than those without such deals. Additionally, task and work responsibility deals were shown to directly and positively predict retirement preferences. This study offers new insights into how I-deals could delay the preferred retirement by fulfilling basic psychological needs. It may thereby inform interventions to increase need satisfaction at work and the implementation of policies for recruiting and retaining older workers. KEYWORDS basic psychological needs theory, idiosyncratic deals, preferred retirement age, structural equation modeling, workforce aging, INTRODUCTION In the current context of skill shortages, high turnover rates, and an aging workforce, public and private organizations face challenges in attracting and retaining qualified employees (Brunello & Wruuck, [...]

Purpose: Innovation and performance impacts of firms on the photovoltaic industry through green motivation and green incentives. Design/methodology/approach: A spectrum of PV firms with qualitative semi-structured interviews among key industry personnel. This approach furnishes a nuanced understanding of how GHRM practices modulate the interplay between Technological Innovation and Corporate Performance. Findings: The findings reveal that Green Motivation and Green Incentives, as integral components of GHRM, play a significant role in steering the course from Technological Innovation to enhanced Corporate Performance. These elements of GHRM are identified as critical drivers that leverage technological advancements to bolster corporate success in the PV industry. Research limitations/implications: The focus on China's PV industry potentially narrows the generalizability of the findings. Future research could broaden the scope to other industrial or geographical settings to elucidate the universal applicability of the observed relationships. Practical implications: The study underscores the pivotal role of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) in fostering technological innovation, offering strategic insights for enhancing corporate performance in the photovoltaic (PV) sector. Originality/value: This research enriches existing literature by examining GHRM's regulatory function in the interaction between technological innovation and corporate performance in China's PV industry for sustainable growth and innovation in renewable energy. Keywords: Green Human Resource Management (GHRM), Technological Innovation, Corporate Performance, Introduction The prominence of China's Photovoltaic (PV) sector within the global arena of renewable energy is undeniably substantial, marked by significant capital infusion and a notale transference of solar PV [...]
