Abstract
This study investigated conscientiousness and extraversion as predictors of retirement stress. Participants comprised 98 male and female retirees between the ages of 33 and 52 years (M = 42.5) drawn from the defunct Power Holding Company of Nigeria workers who were forcefully disengaged in its Enugu Zonal Office (Enugu, Anambra, Imo, Ebonyi and Abia) using multi-stage sampling (cluster and systematic sampling). Conscientiousness and extraversion subscales of John, Donahue and Kentle (1991) 44-item big five personality scale, and Omoluabi (1996) 26-item retirement stress inventory were administered. Cross-sectional survey design was used. Results from multiple regression analysis indicated that extraversion independently at p<.05 predicted retirement stress while conscientiousness independently at p>.05 did not predict retirement stress. Considering these results, it was concluded that extraversion as an independent factor contributed to the variation in retirement stress and has implications for coping with retirement stress.
