Abstract

The aim of this research is to highlight the quality of self-esteem in the way pre-retired and retired secondary school teachers perceive the end of their careers and adapt to it. It offers a better understanding of some of the psychosocial realities that emerge with the end of working life. To carry out this research, a mixed- method approach was adopted, based on semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, self-esteem assessment tests and participant observation of the facts and behaviour of the actors and/or subjects. Forty-two (42) permanent and contract civil servants were selected, regardless of sex, religion or marital status. The results collected and analysed showed that most of the subjects had a very low level of self-esteem. For these pre-retirees and retirees, retirement is a stage in their lives when they feel they have been left to fend for themselves. The end of their careers raises psychosocial issues for them, particularly in terms of identity, image and rehabilitation. For a better understanding of the end- of-career experience, it is crucial to study the self-esteem of pre-retirees and retirees in order to offer admission managers and the people concerned appropriate psychosocial and professional support for a happy retirement.
