Abstract: (190 Views)
Background: Retirement marks a significant phase in an individual’s life after years of employment, impacting various aspects of their personal life. While numerous studies have addressed post-retirement challenges for those who do not return to work, there is a need to investigate the challenges and strategies for retirees who choose to re-enter the workforce
Aims:This study aims to examine the psychological challenges and strategies for retired employees who return to work.
Methods: This applied research uses a descriptive-survey methodology, with purposive sampling targeting experts in human resources, organizational behavior, and education. Criteria for selection included theoretical knowledge, practical experience, willingness, and accessibility. Based on these criteria, 25 experts were selected. Data were analyzed using a structural interpretative approach and cross-impact matrix analysis.
Results: Dependent variables in this study include material and livelihood needs, relational and emotional needs, psychological needs, mental health, social development, and educational structure, which are influenced by other factors. Independent variables include livelihood-based strategies, job characteristics, and quality of life improvements. Key influential factors include entrepreneurship strategies, stakeholders, supportive policies, educational design policies, and economic budgeting. No binary or bridging variables were identified in this study.
Conclusion: Findings suggest that establishing a supportive system in the work environment can significantly aid in improving the psychological adaptation of retirees returning to the workforce.
