Abstract
As the projected growth of Latinos in the United States is substantially high and unemployment rates significantly low, the need exists for rehabilitation professionals to be aware of factors affecting successful employment outcomes. Subsequently, self-concept has been considered a contributing factor affecting employment outcomes, although varying results exist. In view of job placement services often provided through vocational rehabilitation (VR) agencies and/or community rehabilitation programs (CRP), this study investigated the relationship of various self-concept variables and academic/work concept as measured by the Tennessee Self Concept Scale 2 (TSCS2) with job placement practice. Results indicated significant relationships among Identity and Satisfaction, and Academic/Work self-concept. In addition, Family, Physical, and Identity self-concepts were positively correlated with number of days in job placement services prior to employment. Implications for rehabilitation professionals, and future research are discussed.
