Standardized estimates (path coefficients) presented for direct effects; unstandardized coefficients presented for indirect effects. Analyses of absence and disability leave control for age and health status. Analyses of retirement control for age, household income, and health status. Retirement in 2012 was omitted from analyses of indirect effects because it had a non-significant relationship with perceived work ability.
