This paper attempts to analyze the benefits provided by the Jordanian Social Security Corporation (SSC) with respect to generosity measures in the context of scheme sponsors and agents. The importance of that sort of analysis stands mainly behind the issue of how these measures interact with each other to jointly alter the participants' retirement behaviour and the financial parameters of the scheme. (A.T.)

W niniejszym artykule podjęto próbę analizy świadczeń wypłacanych przez Jordanian Social Security Corporation (SSC) w związku z pojęciem hojności odnoszącym się do sponsorowanych programów emerytalnych i ich agentów. Znaczenie tego rodzaju analizy wynika głównie z faktu jak podjęte środki i działania współdziałają ze sobą aby wspólnie zmieniać zachowania finansowe uczestników i parametry finansowe planów emerytalnych.
