ABSTRACT
The study was aimed at assessing the retirement preparedness among civil servants in State
Health Board, Enugu. Four objectives and three hypotheses guided the study. A prospective
descriptive survey design was used and the population of the study was 82 civil servants retiring
between 2016 –2020 and they constituted the subject of the study. Responses were elicited from
respondents using researcher’s developed questionnaire. The instrument was validated using face
and content validity. The reliability coefficient of the instrument was 0.8 using cronbach’s alpha
and the hypothesis was analyzed at P< 0.05 level of significance. The results revealed that most
workers (91.5%) know that their retirement is imminent but majority (88.1%) has little or no
personal savings for post retirement period. Many (64.6%) have enrolled in retirement savings
scheme but did that because it was compulsory (57.3%). Also most civil servants have acquired
skills (73%) and have intention of setting up business after retirement (100%). Hypotheses
testing using chi – square revealed that there was significant relationship between years of
service and retirement preparedness (p=0.010), there was significant relationship between age
and retirement preparedness (p=0.026), there was no significant relation between sex and
retirement preparedness (p=0.479). The study recommended that there should be establishment
of a national public service rehabilitation and vocational center to provide series of training and
counseling programmes for workers about to retire from active service. Also private training
organization should be free to enter the market to avail training opportunities to would-be
retirees.
