Description
Summary:The increase in the elderly population has prompted research on retirement. This study investigated the importance of resilience, economic satisfaction, the length of retirement, and planning to well-being during retirement of 270 participants. The majority of this sample were men (64%), and the mean age was 65 years (SD = 5.7). The participants were retired members of 10 public and private organizations in Rio de Janeiro. Factor analysis and hierarchical regression were performed. The results showed that determined resilience (mastery, adaptability, confidence and perseverance) and socioeconomic satisfaction were the main predictors of well-being in retirement and explained 28% of this model. The findings suggest that well-being in retirement is closely related to socioeconomic satisfaction and determined resilience. Additional research should address the importance of resilience for the well-being of retirees who are or not members of retirement associations. Resilience attitudes should be promoted in Retirement Education Programs. El aumento de la población mayor alentó a una investigación sobre la jubilación. Se investigó la importancia de la resiliencia, la satisfacción socioeconómico, el tiempo de jubilación y la planificación para el bienestar en el retiro de 270 jubilados. La mayoría de la muestra consistió em hombres (64%). El promedio de edad de los participantes fue de 65 años (DE = 5.7), miembros de asociaciones de jubilados de 10 organizaciones públicas y privadas en Río de Janeiro. Se realizaron análisis factorial y de regresión jerárquica. Los resultados de la regresión revelaron que la resiliência decidida – la maestría, la adaptabilidad, el ingenio y la perseverancia – y la satisfacción socioeconómico son los principales predictores y explican el 28% del modelo. Por lo tanto, el bienestar de la jubilación está estrechamente relacionada com la satisfacción socioeconómico y resiliencia determinada. Se sugieren los estudios que comparan participantes activos o no en las asociaciones de jubilados, y se recomienda la promoción de actitudes de resiliencia en los programas de preparación para la jubilación. O aumento da população idosa incentivou pesquisas sobre a aposentadoria. Esta pesquisa investigou a importância da resiliência, da satisfação socioeconômica, do tempo de aposentadoria e do planejamento para o bem-estar na aposentadoria de 270 participantes. A maioria da amostra foi composta por homens (64 %), média de idade de 65 anos (DP = 5,
