This study aims to determine the relationship of self-esteem with anxiety immediately before retirement age in the employees of PDAM Tirtanadi of North Sumatra. Based on various theoretical reviews, the hypothesis in this study is whether there is a relationship of self-esteem with anxiety, assuming that the higher the self-esteem of employees, the lower their anxiety.Conversely, the lower the self-esteem of employees, the higher their anxiety. This study uses the self-esteem scale proposed by Branden (2000) and the anxiety scale proposed by Buklew (1990). The sample used in this study consisted of 59 employees. The analysis technique used in this study is product-moment correlation analysis with the acquisition of self-esteem and anxiety relationships where the correlation coefficient between self-esteem and anxiety is rxy = 0.41, p = 0.001 (p> 0.50).It means that the higher the self-esteem of employees, the higher their anxiety. This study provides very significant results with a significance level of 1% or p <0.010, with a coefficient of determination (r2) = 0.171 and BE% is 17.1%.This means that self-esteem determines 82.91% of anxiety levels and the remainder is caused by other factors not discussed in this study.
