Abstract

The pre-retirement period is a phase full of uncertainty and often triggers anxiety in employees. This study aims to determine the effect of intolerance of uncertainty (IU) on anxiety in pre-retirement employees. This study uses a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The subjects of the study were 60 ASN employees who will enter retirement in 2026. The instruments used were the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale–12 (IUS–12) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Data analysis was carried out using simple linear regression using JASP. The results of the analysis showed that IU had a significant effect on anxiety (R² = 0.106; p = 0.011). The higher the level of IU, the higher the anxiety felt by individuals approaching retirement. The conclusion of this study is that IU is one of the psychological factors that can predict anxiety in the pre-retirement period. The implication of this study is the importance of psychological intervention to help individuals prepare for retirement more adaptively.
