Abstract


The aim of the study was to find out the causes of retirement anxiety among civil servants in Kwara State, Nigeria. The study was guided by three hypotheses. Descriptive research was used for the study while a purposive sample was used to select 24 government establishments while 480 randomly selected were the sample size of the study. Causes of retirement anxiety questionnaire (CORAQ) were used as an instrument for data collection and data collected were analyzed using PPMC. The finding from the study revealed no significant difference in the level of retirement of Kwara state civil servants on basis of age (Cal f=2.995< Cri f=3.00 at 0.05) and a significant difference in the level of retirement of Kwara state civil servants on basis of gender (Cal t 2.354> Crit 1.96 at 0.05). Among the recommendation made were that seminars and workshops should be organized on new pension reform for civil servants on the life in retirement and the Counselling Association of Nigeria (CASSON) should lay emphasis on counselling services for retirement so as to encourage people to conduct more research studies on retirement.
