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

Abstract

Abstract: This research aimed to design a comprehensive life plan for higher education institution staff nearing retirement, with the goal of fostering a planned, satisfying, and well-being-oriented transition. The study employed an instrumental case study design with a qualitative approach, using semi-structured interviews and journals for data collection. The analysis identified needs, expectations, and concerns across personal, family, social, economic, health, and legal dimensions, highlighting the importance of comprehensive preparation for the changes associated with retirement. Based on the findings, a life plan proposal was developed to promote autonomy, goal setting, self-care, constructive use of leisure time, and the strengthening of support networks. The study concludes that advance retirement planning significantly contributes to improved quality of life, fostering active aging, better adaptation to this life stage, and personal development for those concluding their working lives.
