Elaboración de proyecto de vida para el personal de una institución de educación superior próximo al proceso de jubilación

Abstract

Abstract: The objective of this study was to design a life plan for administrative staff at a higher education institution who are nearing retirement. The research was conducted using a qualitative approach, employing an instrumental case study design. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and diaries were used to collect data. The data obtained were analyzed using thematic and narrative analysis techniques, which provided insight into the participants experiences, perceptions, and needs regarding the retirement process. The results showed that the participants view this transition positively and that family support is one of their main resources during this stage, along with their willingness to reorganize their plans, activities, and expectations in light of the changes involved in retirement. The analysis considered six dimensions: personal, social, economic, legal, family, and health. Based on these dimensions, specific needs were identified, and support strategies were proposed in line with the participants characteristics and expectations; the importance of providing guidance and advance preparation was emphasized.
