| dc.description.abstract | Retirement is usually considered as a major life event that could change the lives of employees. In some of the time, individuals who have low self-esteem may consider retirement as a disaster and experience retirement anxiety because of the numerous psychological and social changes that follows it. This study assessed the predictive influence of self -esteem on patterns of retirement anxiety among non academic staff in a faith-based university in Osun State Nigeria. Using a cross-sectional survey method, a total of 101 non-academic Junior, Senior (administrative and technical) staff were purposively selected in Adeleke University, Osun State Nigeria. The participants completed the Redeemer's University Retirement Anxiety Scale (RURAS) and Rosenburg Self Esteem Scale (RSE). Data were analysed using descriptive (frequency and percentage) and inferential statistics (hierarchical multiple regression).The result revealed that sociodemographic characteristics and self-esteem significantly predict personal obligation concern[R=.39, R2= .15, F (7, 93) = 2.32, p >.05], Financial Planning Concerns [R=.54, R2= .29, F (8, 92) = 4.72, p < .01] and Social Detachment Concerns [R=.53, R2= .29, F (8, 92) = 4.72, p < .01], dimensions of retirement anxiety. The findings were discussed in line with existing literature and theprevailing social economic realities in Nigeria. The study further confirms the idea that retirement anxiety is a form of psychological trauma. | |
