Because of demographic changes due to longer life-spans and lower birth rates, and also because of rapid policy change in Taiwan, the number of retired government employees and teachers (RGET) in younger age brackets has increased. Problems encountered by the growing RGET population have therefore drawn growing attention. One suggestion to meet this challenge is that the government should encourage the RGET population to become involved in social activities to increase their sense of well-being during their retirement years. This implies that a relationship between social engagement and sense of well-being need a further investigation. This study therefore focuses on the relationship between social engagement and sense of happiness in the RGET population. A survey was conducted in which the RGET of Nantou County served as the research sample, with a total of 423 valid responses received. Using descriptive analysis, ANOVA analysis, Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, and regression analysis 1. The study shows good social engagement of the subjects, mostly in the form of leisure activities. 2. Sense of happiness among the RGET population of Nantou County was also strong, especially in evaluations of interpersonal relationships and self-affirmation. 3. There were significant differences in RGET’s background variables in the dimension of social participation. 4. There were significant differences in RGET’s background variables in the dimension of sense of happiness. 5. The study found a significant positive correlation between social engagement and sense of happiness for the sample population. 6. It is therefore suggested that this study can be used as a reference for the government organizations and education institutions in working out retirement plans for the RGET population, and promote high social engagement sense of happiness of the RGET.
