Abstract
Data selected from the 1994-1999 Longitudinal Study of the Vocational Rehabilitation Services Program were used to examine the contribution of self-esteem, career-related knowledge, locus of control, and gender to the prediction of employment outcome experienced by individuals with learning disabilities (LD), as well as to hourly wages, weekly hours worked, and job satisfaction. Using logistic regression analyses, no independent variables studied were predictive of employment outcome for all participants (n = 240) or receiving workplace benefits for those who were employed (n = 63). Multiple regression analyses indicated that gender (p < .01) and belief in chance (p < .05) significantly predicted hourly wages for participants who were employed. Career-related knowledge was a significant (p < .05) predictor of job satisfaction.
