Abstract

Occupational balance has been proven to benefit retirees’ health and can significantly improve their life satisfaction and quality of life post-retirement. This study aims to examine the level of occupational balance among retirees in Malaysia. A cross-sectional study was conducted using purposive sampling to recruit 400 participants from the retiree population. Based on the findings, the mean of OBQ11 total scores was 22.96 (SD = 4.79), with a minimum score of 10.00 and a maximum score of 33.00. To conclude, this study showed that retirees in Malaysia have a high level of occupational balance.
