Abstract
Compared to private
firms, public companies generally have excess labor force. During the
privatization process and conversion of a public enterpriseto a private
enterprise, new employers tend to adjust their labor force in order to reduce
ongoing costsand improve the company's economic goals.In order to persuade the
employees to accept voluntary retirement and leave the firm, these firmsmay
offer a reward to the employees that are eligible for optional retirement but
are not eligible to mandatory retirement. Employees tend to receive the highest
possible premium and in contrast the firm is willing to pay employees the
minimum possible premium. In this paper, we consider the options facing
employer and employee through dynamic games with complete information. Games
between employee and employer was shown in the form of an extensive
game.Minimum premium required to accept the optional retirement was calculated
using subgame perfect equilibrium (SPE) and the effect of ceiling premium has
been studied on minimum premium. The calculations show that the reductions in
mandatory retirement age, the retirement benefits from social security
organizations, expected interest rate and the maximum years of service and an
increase in employee's age and her years of service lead to a reduction in the
minimum premium required to accept the optional retirement. Moreover, due to
lower mandatory retirement age for women than men in many countries, women
accept optional retirement with lower premium. The proposed ceiling premium will
also cause to refuseoptional retirement from the part of the workers with high
salary, young and lownumber of years of service.
