Elaboración de un proyecto de vida dirigido al personal de una institución de educación superior próximo al proceso de jubilación

Abstract

Abstract: Retirement marks a significant period of change within the academic sphere. This research aimed to develop a life project for staff at a higher education institution nearing retirement in the city of Loja. The first objective identified the following main needs: healthy habits, family support, and a personal project. Participants expressed concerns about the lack of financial planning, redefining their personal role, and the legal aspects. For the second objective, strategies such as family tree mapping, support network mapping, financial balance, wellness plan, and goal mapping were applied. Existing support networks were identified, priorities were established, and a new meaning to retirement was developed. The third objective involved developing a personalized life plan with short-, medium-, and long-term goals in six dimensions: health, family, economic, legal, social, and personal. Participants projected the continuation of their entrepreneurial venture, the creation of a foundation, and the strengthening of support networks. It was concluded that a planned intervention fosters proactive adaptation and a sense of purpose.
