The advent of retirement can generate an imbalance in the organization of the roles that people play in their lives. The purpose of this qualitative study was to understand the possible relationships between the role of work during the career and life satisfaction/adjustment to retirement in 13 retirees of a multinational company. Based on the use of the socio-professional trajectory technique and the semi-structured interview, the results pointed to the high involvement with work during the career and to four main factors that influence retirement life satisfaction, being: the financial factor, the social support network, voluntary/involuntary decision to retire and involvement in voluntary work.

Keywords : work; vocational guidance; welfare; retirement.
