Retirement anxiety may occur in retirement-eligible staff, and their reaction may depend on their personality traits. This study examined the predictive influence of five-factor personality traits on retirement anxiety among non-academic staff in some selected universities in Osun State, Nigeria.
The study utilized a multistage sampling technique. Two self-administered instruments, Redeemer's University Retirement Anxiety Scale and Mini-International Personality Item Pool were completed by 463 non-academic staff in five selected universities in Osun State, Nigeria. Descriptive statistics (frequency and percentages) and inferential statistics (hierarchical regression, two-sample -test, and one-way ANOVA) were used to analyze data.
The study found a high prevalence rate of retirement anxiety (85.1%) among university staff in Nigeria. In all, 13%, 16%, and 12.5% of the participants showed high levels of retirement anxiety dimensions (personal obligation, financial planning, and social detachment), respectively. Sociodemographic and personality traits jointly accounted for statistically significant (16%, 29%, and 22%) changes in personal obligation (R2 =0.16, <.01), financial planning (R2 =0.29, <.01), and social detachment (R2 =.22, <.01), respectively. Personality traits (extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism) and socio-demographic variables (age, educational level, job tenure, and job status) jointly contributed to the prediction of retirement anxiety dimensions (obligation concerns, financial planning, and social detachment).
The findings highlighted the need for psychosocial interventions targeting the at-risk population was highlighted.
符合退休条件的员工可能会出现退休焦虑，其反应可能取决于他们的人格特质。本研究考察了五因素人格特质对尼日利亚奥孙州部分选定大学非教学人员退休焦虑的预测影响。
本研究采用多阶段抽样技术。尼日利亚奥孙州五所选定大学的463名非教学人员完成了两份自填式问卷，即救赎大学退休焦虑量表和迷你国际人格项目池。采用描述性统计（频率和百分比）和推断性统计（分层回归、双样本t检验和单因素方差分析）对数据进行分析。
研究发现尼日利亚大学员工中退休焦虑的患病率很高（85.1%）。总体而言，分别有13%、16%和12.5%的参与者表现出高水平的退休焦虑维度（个人义务、财务规划和社交疏离）。社会人口统计学和人格特质共同导致个人义务（R2 = 0.16，p <.01）、财务规划（R2 = 0.29，p <.01）和社交疏离（R2 =.22，p <.01）在统计学上有显著变化（分别为16%、29%和22%）。人格特质（外向性、宜人性、尽责性和神经质）和社会人口统计学变量（年龄、教育水平、工作年限和工作状态）共同有助于预测退休焦虑维度（义务担忧、财务规划和社交疏离）。
研究结果强调了针对高危人群进行心理社会干预的必要性。
