The study hypothesesed that: pre-retirement anxiety will not significantly relate with psychosocial behaviours of academic and non-staff of secondary schools within Kaduna Metropolis, the relationship would not differ significantly by junior and senior cader of staff nor will it differ by gender. The Zung Rating Instrument for Anxiety Questionnaire (ZRIAQ) and Influence of Pre-retirement Anxiety on Psychosocial Behaviour of Staff Questionnaire (IPAPBSQ) were used to collect the data for the study. The instruments (ZRIAQ) and (IPAPBSQ) were administered by the researchers to the sample. Participants were properly briefed on the purpose of the study and assured of their confidentiality before the administration of the instruments. Data collected were analysed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation (r) at 0.05 level of significance. The findings shows that there is significant relationship between pre-retirement anxiety and psycho-social behaviours of academic staff in secondary schools within Kaduna Metropolis r = 0.973**value , p- value 0.000, between pre-retirement anxiety and psycho-social behaviours of non-academic staff in secondary schools within Kaduna Metropolis r = 0.156, p = 0.000 and between senior and junior academic staff in secondary schools within Kaduna Metropolis r = 0.879, p = 0.003. Based on the findings, the researchers recommend that the wellbeing of staff in secondary schools within Kaduna Metropolis after retirement should be a concern for the employers. One way to ensure this is to organize Retirement Planning Programmes (RPPs) for workers so that it helps prepare them for retirement
