This article examines the influence of work-related factors on the intention to continue working after state pension age/time. A cross-sectional research was conducted with 283 Brazilians federal employees, and involved an on-line questionnaire with the Brazilian version of the Older Worker's Intention to Continue Working (OWICW) scale. The results indicated that most participants want to continue in paid work. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that perceptions of personal autonomy at work, interpersonal relationships at work, interests outside of work, and flexible working arrangements are significant predictors of intention to continue working. Furthermore, the perception of personal autonomy at work, flexible working arrangements, the financial incentives are predictors of the decision to postpone retirement and remain in the organization. The study provides information that can contribute with management policies before the process of retirement decision.

Keywords : Postpone retirement; meaning of work; public service; personnel; older workers.
