RETIREMENT READY: ORGANIZATIONAL DRIVERS OF LIFE SATISFACTION AMONG PUBLIC WORKERS NEARING RETIREMENT.
As employees approach retirement, their well-being becomes essential for
a smooth transition from public service to post-retirement life, with important
implications for human resource management. This study examined factors
influencing retirement preparedness among public servants in Lagos State,
Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey design with a quantitative approach was
employed. The sample comprised of 488 public servants aged 55 and above or
within 1 to 5 years of retirement, drawn from six randomly selected ministries.
Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that included
socio-demographic items and standardized measures of organizational
self-esteem, professionalism, retirement preparedness, job satisfaction, and
life satisfaction, with reliability coefficients ranging from 0.71 to 0.96. Two
hypotheses guided the study: The first one examine the relationship between
organizational factors and life satisfaction; while the second, assessed the
joint and independent influence of these organizational factors on life
satisfaction among pre-retirees. Results revealed that organizational
self-esteem and professionalism were positively associated with retirement
preparedness. Furthermore, job satisfaction and life satisfaction significantly
influenced employees’ readiness for retirement. The study offers valuable
insights into how positive organizational experiences enhance retirement
preparedness, underscoring the importance of supportive workplace environments
for employees nearing the end of their careers.
