Persons with Disabilities and Employment: Application of the Self-Efficacy of Job-Seeking Skills Scale

Abstract

The Self-efficacy of Job-seeking Skills (SJS) scale was used to explore the influence of self-efficacy among persons with disabilities towards seeking employment. The development of the SJS scale was based on the Job-seeking and Self-efficacy scale and the Managing Disability at Interviews scale (Barlow, Wright, & Cullen, 2002). A sample of 577 persons with disabilities, who attended an in-service orientation at a public vocational rehabilitation service provider in the Mid-Atlantic region of the U.S., completed the SJS. Principal axis factoring yielded an 18-item SJS scale with three factors representing the subscales of Independence Skills, Social Skills, and Interview Management Skills.
