Docentes universitários: expectativas acerca da aposentadoria.

Abstract

Human life can be divided into three stages: preparation for work, work and post-work. Involvement, satisfaction and importance to the work reserved induce greater career commitment, hindering the shutdown work during retirement. The conceptualization of retirement changes according to the conception of each person, can be understood as rest and reward for years of work, or as a threat and punishment, which entail breaking ties and uselessness to society. Thus, it was aimed to meet the expectations of university teachers in transition to retirement about this process. This is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach, conducted with twenty teachers faculty of the Federal University of Campina Grande, campus Cajazeiras, lying in the transition to retirement. For data collection we used a semi-structured interview structured. The data were processed and analyzed using content analysis. Considering all the findings arising from this research, we can say that the way each teacher sees retirement is intrinsically related to the way you live your own life, in regard to its principles and values and priorities both in the professional and the personal. Through the results we can affirm the importance of implementing a Program Preparing for Retirement in the institution, which favor reflection and planning of teachers for this new stage of life.
