Abstract
The purpose of the study was to investigate the factors influencing the planning for
post-retirement living for the construction sector employees in the Oshana region in
Namibia. Moreover, the pragmatism philosophy adopted was most appropriate as the
researcher combined elements of the positivist and interpretivist philosophies.
Furthermore, the participants comprised of 30 construction sector employees from
the Oshana Region, Namibia. Additionally, the study used semi-structured interviews
as a data collection method. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data by
coding themes, making comparisons and examination of the data. The findings of
this research are that construction sector employees do not venture into retirement
planning and the sociodemographic group with low retirement planning interest is
men, low-income earners and financially illiterate individuals. In the final analysis,
the study recommends that more research is required to validate the data from these
construction employees. The study also recommends the need for construction sector
employees to acquaint themselves with the dynamics and literacy on financial issues
and retirement planning
