Who Choses Retirement Benefits?:Verifing Retirement Benefit’s Effect as a Talent Screening Device

Abstract

By using web survey results, I find retirement benefit functions as a talent screening device in the following two ways. Firstly, retirement benefit would identify employees preferring to stay with its current employer long and having low time preference. However, this may not necessarily be true to non-regular employees. Secondly, it may identify job seekers with low time preference wishing to work with a single employer for a longer period. And the same can be applied to non-regular employees who are willing to change jobs.
