Abstract
Retirement is a change that occurs in an employee who initially worked to become unemployed, or a
change that includes losing a position, making a pension will feel no longer have self-respect by the
environment, feel not getting attention, and care. This will show reactions such as being unable to control
excessive emotions, being unrealistic, and unable to overcome feelings of frustration. The purpose of this
study is to look at the relationship between social support and adjustment in retirement. A total of 100
research samples were collected from the Telkom Pensioners Association (P2TEL). The social support scale
refers to the Sarafino theory with 27 items and reliability (α) 0.903 and the adjustment scale of the
Scheneiders theory with 38 items and reliability (α) 0.876. The results showed a significant positive
relationship (sig 0. 000 and r 0.410) between social support and the adjustment of P2TEL retirees. Based on
the value of r 2 = 0.168 shows that social support influenced adjustment to 16.8%. Pensioners who have
high social support (57%) and low social support (43%). P2TEL retirees who have a bad adjustment more
(52%) compared to a good adjustment (48%). There is no relationship of conformity of retirees at P2TEL
with people who are contacted by retirees when they have a problem.
