Abstract
This study tested 3 hypotheses derived from Holland's theory of vocational choice: relations between levels of Holland's hypothesized personality dimensions for person-environment interactions (congruency, consistency, and homogeneity) and two work adjustment variables (satisfaction and satisfactoriness) from the Minnesota Studies in Vocational Rehabilitation. 124 male Ss and 76 female Ss, classified as having psychological or physical disabilities, were administered the Holland Vocational Preference Inventory (VPI) and the short-form Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ). Their employers completed the short-form Minnesota Satisfactoriness Scale (MSS). Levels of congruency, consistency, and homogeneity derived from the VPI were hypothesized to be related to levels of the MSQ and MSS scores. No over-all confirmation was found for the hypotheses; however, some encouragement for further exploration of the efficacy of Holland's personality dimensions was indicated. Significant relationships, involving the answers to questionnaire items of the responders to requests for participation in the study, are reported and discussed.
