Job Retention Model for Adult Workers with Mental Challenges

The findings of this study highlight the importance of self-determination skills in predicting job retention, satisfaction, and job performance for employees with MR. The study concluded that workers with MR who had more self-determination skills were employed longer, more job satisfaction, and better performers on the job. Also, individuals whose jobs were matched to their interests and abilities (person-job congruency) were better at self-determination skills.
