Abstract :

This research is focused on knowing the life histories of retired personnel of the general base-field tabulator who worked at INIFAP for the regulatory period, which is more than 30 years of service. The premise of the study is that there are specific cases where sometimes there are people who retire and enjoy their pension very little time because they die in the short time after that stage of retirement. The study was conducted with a naturalistic paradigm through a descriptive case study approach, and the prioritization of qualitative data focused on the life stories of people already retired from INIFAP. In this case, two people already retired some years ago from INIFAP and who were assigned to the Cotaxtla Experimental Field and identified in the document as Participant 1 and 2, respectively, participated. A script for the interviews, as well as an interview recorded with a high-end cell phone were used as instruments in the collection of life histories, in which the information was systematized by means of the aforementioned instrument and thus have the complete chronicle. With this research, it is intended that the approaches expressed in this article serve as support to those who have in their daily life will have similar situations to the one exposed and, specifically, so it is concluded that it was possible to identify several factors that motivated and at the same time satisfied the INIFAP field personnel who retired in previous years.
