Retirement And Adjustment Levels: A Case Study Of Retirees In Ogun State

Abstract

This study examined the level of adjustment (positive or negative) of retirees in Ogun State, Nigeria, as well as their perception (positive or negative) of retirement and the level of adjustment. A self-developed questionnaire was used for data collection. The subjects for the study were 72 retirees (34 males and 38 females), drawn from public, private and government owned companies in Ogun State. Results of the study revealed that respondents had positive perception of retirement and positive level of adjustment in retirement.  The relationship between perception and level of adjustment was not statistically significant [p > 0.05] which indicates that factors other than perception contribute to the positive level of adjustment of the respondents.
