Abstract

Retirement readiness is characterized by an individual’s acceptance, readiness and willingness to change as they enter retirement. It can be influenced by internal factors such as retirement resources, as well as external factors like perceived organizational support. Retirement resources encompass emotional, cognitive, motivational, social, physical and financial resources relevant to individual’s well-being in retirement. Perceived organizational support is the extent to which employees feel supported and cared for in their preparation for retirement. This study aims to examine the role of retirement resources and perceived organizational support in retirement readiness. Researchers collected data from 100 employees of state-owned organization operating in the aviation navigation sector in Indonesia using convenient sampling, comprising of 94.2% males, 46.6% aged 45-49 years, 93% from the operational division and 100% with over 15 years of tenure. Researchers utilized Retirement Readiness Scale, Retirement Resources Inventory and Survey of Perceived Organizational Support. Through SEM-PLS analysis, it was found that both retirement resources and perceived organizational support had significant influence on retirement readiness, with p = 0.001 < 0.05, t = 3.282 > 1.96 and p = 0.006 < 0.05 and t = 2.756 > 1.96, respectively. The R-squared value indicates both variables collectively contribute to retirement readiness by 31.3%. Among them, retirement resources exert a higher influence with a path coefficient of 0.330, particularly with physical and financial resources significantly contributing to retirement readiness.
