Civic Engagement as a Retirement Role for Aging Americans
Gerontologist, 2008Co-Authors: Brian Kaskie, Sara Imhof, Joseph Cavanaugh, Kennith CulpAbstract:Purpose: Public attention directed toward the Civic Engagement of retired Americans has increased considerably. The purpose of this research was to define Civic Engagement as a retirement role and differentiate individuals who met this role definition from other retirees. Design and Methods: Retirees who met our definition of Civic Engagement were identified from a sample of 683 retired older adults living in a rural Midwestern state. Using a multinomial logistic regression analysis, we contrasted this group of engaged retirees to three other groups of retirees: (a) those who were neither working nor volunteering, (b) those who had returned to work in part-time or seasonal occupations, and (c) those who volunteered for fewer than 5 hours each week. Results: The analyses indicated that individuals assigned to the group of engaged retirees were similar across 24 variables. This group of engaged retirees differed from the other groups by gender, education level, and health status; retirement motives and planning efforts; primary retirement activities; and attitudes about volunteering and returning to work. Implications: This research supported the contention that Civic Engagement could be defined as a formal retirement role, as engaged retirees differ significantly from those who volunteer less, work in nonCivic roles, or do neither. Further, we resolved that associating the act of volunteering, in itself, with Civic Engagement may no longer be appropriate for retired older adults. The definition of Civic Engagement as a retirement role should also include those individuals who return to work in organizations that pursue specific Civic activities.

hci Civic Engagement trust
Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2015Co-Authors: Mike Harding, Bran Knowles, Nigel Davies, Mark RouncefieldAbstract:There is a widespread belief that pervasive technologies will encourage and facilitate partnerships between citizens and Civic authorities, enabling individuals to play a greater role in Civic planning, service delivery and infrastructure management. However, at present sustained use and perceived value of Civic Engagement technologies remains low because the design space is poorly understood by system developers who focus almost exclusively on empowering citizens rather than adopting an informed, inclusive approach that addresses the needs of both citizens and Civic authorities, and helps establish trusted relationships between these different stakeholders. We report on an extensive study of Civic Engagement in the domain of public infrastructure maintenance and provide insights into the Civic management processes to support future design of trusted Civic Engagement interactions.
