One of the significant issues in employee career management is the dignified life of academic personnel at retirement age. Different countries have different issues with the aforementioned issue. The problem with employees in the education sector in Georgia is particularly noteworthy.
Our research was devoted to this issue. We surveyed the academic personnel working for several universities, and 71.9% of them were women (453). The data processing was done using the SPSS software package.
Women's retirement issues have been researched in a variety of directions. The dread of losing one's employment includes several blocks of factors.
We discussed the extremely significant concerns created by finances in the first block, specifically quality meals, maintaining health, aiding family, and others. Several important hypotheses were developed during the research process:
- Retirement savings for life insurance (Q9) influence the following variable - fear of job loss at retirement age (Q8);
- Retirement savings for life insurance (Q9) influence the following variable - I will be unable to purchase high-quality food (q14 1);
- Retirement savings for life insurance (Q9) influence the following variable - I will be unable to retain my health condition (q14_2);
- Retirement savings for life insurance (Q9) influence the following variable -I will be unable to travel (q14 3);
- Retirement savings for life insurance (Q9) influence the following variable – I will not be able to help my relatives (q14_4);
- Retirement savings for life insurance (Q9) influence the following variable –I will find it challenging psychologically to leave my workplace (q14 5);
- Retirement savings for life insurance (Q9) influence the following variable - Have you considered how to spend the time you'll have after retiring? (q16).
Ignoring the problems brought up in the research will lead to serious repercussions. It should be crucial for the country to lessen the stressful environment that educators work in and to consider the issues that are brought on by it.
Key words: Retirement age, women, career management, work-life balance, leisure time
