A Conceptual Framework of the Retirement Savings Behavior among Civil Servants in Malaysia
Abstract
The feasibility of maintaining a comfortable standard of living for civil servants in Malaysia is frequently questioned due to their reliance on pensions as the primary source of retirement funds, which may not suffice to cover the rising retirement costs. To address this issue, civil servants could consider accumulating savings during their working years instead of solely depending on pension disbursements. This academic discourse examines the effect of the independent variables of attitudes towards retirement savings (financial risk tolerance, past behaviours, and subjective norms as psychological elements) and financial considerations (tax incentives) on retirement savings behaviour. Additionally, the research also explores the moderating role of perceived government policy and perceived behavioural control with its antecedents, namely financial literacy, self-control between the independent variables, and retirement savings behaviour among civil servants in Malaysia. Drawing from the extended interactive theory of planned behaviour, amalgamated theories comprising the interactive theory of planned behaviour, rationale choice theory, and the behavioural economic model and existing literature, this article introduces a conceptual framework detailing the determinants influencing the RSB of civil servants in Malaysia. The proposed framework has the potential to benefit various stakeholders, particularly civil servants seeking to prepare adequately for their retirement years.
