Percepción de jubilados de una institución privada de educación superior sobre el proceso de jubilación vivido.

Abstract

The objective of this research study is to analyze the perception of retirees from a private institution of higher education about the retirement process experienced. Through the interviews we have collected the information approaching the respondents with questions about the experiences, expectations and challenges encountered, which are part of the transition to retirement. The results of this study reveal a series of emotions in retirees, from satisfaction with the achievements achieved to concern and fear for this new stage in their lives influenced by personal and work factors within the context of private HEIs. For some retirees, the importance of institutional support was relevant in the process, from counseling to preparation for retirement, allowing them to identify adaptation strategies such as social bonding and the development of new interests. This study highlights the need to strengthen preparation and counseling programs for future retirees of the private institution of higher education, with the aim of facilitating a positive and enriching transition to retirement.
