Resumen:
Sumario:This study aimed to present the construction and initial evidence of validity of the Scale of Reasons for Continuing to Work in Retirement (EMCTA). 511 mature workers (aged 45 or over) answered a questionnaire sent over the intranet of a large organization in the energy sector. The final scale comprised 44 items and seven dimensions with good adjustment rates. Confirmatory factor analyzes showed that the most relevant dimensions of EMCTA were the relationship with the organization, relationships at work and intellectual development. It is suggested that future investigations aim to test the invariance of this instrument in different groups of mature workers who are planning to remain in the labor market, even after the age of retirement.
