Abstract | The quality of life (QL) of retired academics reengaged in some Nigerian Universities was studied using physical health, subjective happiness, life satisfaction and psychological well-being domains and a measure based on control, autonomy, self-realization and pleasure (CASP) as indicators. Satisfactory QL was indicated all respondents (greater than 50% maximum points), but physical health was poor (less than 30%). Compared to the preretirement period, respondents indicated satisfactory present condition. Significant differences (t test) due to gender, age, living with/without spouse, mandatory/voluntary retirement, and rank occurred in some QL indicators. Except for physical health, the QL indicators were positively associated (r = 0.31-0.69, p less than 0.05-0.01). Satisfactory location was indicated and was positively related to subjective happiness (r = 0.52-0.76). Thus, the QL of reengaged retired academics did not deteriorate because of continued activity.
