Abstract

This study of self-concept of retired public servants in Akwa Ibom State on their postretirement adjustment used 299 subjects. A 34 item Retired Public Servants Opinion Questionnaire (REPSOQ) was used to elicit information on retirees’ feelings on self-concept and their post-retirement satisfaction of health, social, emotional, and economic indices. A null hypothesis of no significant influence of self-concept on post-retirement adjustment of public servants was put to test using analysis of variance (ANOVA) at 0.05 significance level, 2 and, 296 df. The result showed no significant influence of self-concept on post-retirement health, emotional, and economical but momentous influence on social adjustment of public servants. Retirees without resources live unsatisfactory lives and are traumatized as the unemployed. Low self-concept promotes a sense of worthlessness; which impacts the retirees’ mental state causing depression. The suggestion was made for informal social activities with others to provide role support to promote positive self-concept and retirees’ satisfaction.
