Abstract:
The purpose of this study was twofold. First, it aimed at examining the retirement
preparation among employees working for G-Able Co., Ltd in terms of economy,
accommodation, physical health, mental health, social and leisure activities. Also, this study
attempted to compare the retirement preparation among these employees as classified by personal
factors. The subjects participating in this study were 260 employees, aged more than 30 and
recruited by a two-stage random sampling technique. The instrument used to collect the data was
a questionnaire with Cronbachs alpha at 0.78. The statistical tests used to analyze the collected
data included percentage, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, the tests of t-test and F-test (Oneway analysis of variance). The results of the study revealed that the level of preparation for
retirement among the subjects was at a low level. When considering each aspect, the one in
relation to accommodation was rated at the highest level of readiness by the subjects, followed by
the aspects of physical health, economy, mental health, social and leisure activities, respectively.
Also, based on the test of hypotheses, there were statistically significant differences in the level of
retirement preparation among the subjects who had different age and the amount of information
on retirement received at a significant level of .05. Finally, no statistically significant differences
were found in the level of retirement preparation among the subjects who had different gender,
educational level, marital status, and health condition.
