Abstract

This study investigated the influence of creativity tendencies on post-retirement adjustment of public servants in Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria. Two hundred and ninety-nine (299) public servants, made up of two hundred and fourteen (214) males and eighty-five (85) females that resided in Akwa Ibom State were involved in the study. A 42 item questionnaire titled Retired Public Servants Opinion Questionnaire (RESPSOQ) was used to elicit information on the retired persons' feelings on creative tendencies and their post-retirement satisfaction of health, social, emotional and economic indices. The questionnaire was pilot tested on one hundred (100) retired persons in two (2) local government areas from two (2) senatorial zones in the state. A null-hypothesis that creative tendencies have no significant influence on post-retirement adjustment of public servants was tested using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) at 0.05 level of significance at 2 and 296 degrees of freedom.
