碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 人力資源管理研究所 === 105 === The current population structure of Taiwan is changing, it is estimated by the year 2061 the percentage of aging employees in Taiwan will account for more than 27% of the total working population. There will be a big problem of future labor shortages that companies will have to address when their current employees retire. It is therefore very important for these companies to understand what they can do to encourage aging employees to continue to work whilst also continuing to contribute with their vast knowledge and experiences. This research used future time perspective as an independent variable, and used the perception of future career opportunities as a mediate variable, to create a moderation mediated model. This model allowed us to examine how the perception of HR practices for older workers would affect the relationship between the perception of future career opportunities and the motivation of continue working, and thus influence the indirect relationship between the future time perspective and the motivation to continue working. We obtained a total of 208 samples of which were equal to or above 45 years of age. The research results show that there is a positive relationship between the future time perspective and the motivation to continue working, as well as a fully mediated effect of perception of future career opportunities. Furthermore, when aging employees perceived more HR practices which reduce their work demands, the positive relationship between perception of future career opportunities and the motivation to continue working would be weaker, thus weakening the indirect relationship between the future time perspective and the motivation to continue working, through the perception of future career opportunities.
