Malaysia currently begins to follow the global trends of an ageing population and expected to be an aged nation by 2040. Due to the unprecedented demographic patterns, ageing population coupled with longer longevity has posed a challenge, as most of the working individuals are still unprepared and not ready to face retirement because of poor planning for their golden years. Similarly, there is a growing aging workforce in the Malaysian energy industry that begets attention for retirement planning. Lack of adequate planning can be an obstacle to achieve a desired retirement life. Therefore, this study examined the determinants (i.e. psychological process, social influence and environmental influence) of employees' retirement planning in the Malaysian energy industry.
