Abstract
This study investigated the relationship of job maintenance to select characteristics of competitive jobs held by 53 psychiatrically handicapped individuals who had participated in a psychosocial rehabilitation program. The results indicated that placements maintained the longest generally involved more significant relationships with things (sixth digit of the Dictionary of Occupational Titles code). Specific vocational preparation requirements of placements were also somewhat higher in longer maintained jobs. It was found that strength requirements, general educational development, and average aptitude requirements were not strongly related to job maintenance.
