Retirement decision-making influenced by family and work relationships / A tomada de decisão da aposentadoria influenciada pelas relações familiares e laborais
To identify the influence of family and work relationships on decision-making about retiring.
Methods:
A qualitative descriptive study was carried out with 16 pre-retirees from a public university institution located in the north of Paraná, Brazil. Data were collected between July and November 2012 from three reflection groups that discussed aspects related to retirement. The Content Analysistechnique was chosen for data analysis. For the theoretical basis of the results, the Theory of Social Representations was used.
Family and work experiences influence decision-making about retiring, and become more important when the pre-retiree does not have post-career lifeprojects, demonstrating the importance of the participation of workers in strategies to prepare for retirement during working life.
