In the contexts where people with intellectual disability work, there are factors that determine their job satisfaction. The objective of this study was to test the adequacy of the central assumptions of the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) theory in workers with intellectual disability employed in different work alternatives. Data from 362 workers in sheltered workshops and 192 workers in supported employment were utilized. The model was contrasted using a structural equation model and a multi-group analysis. The results supported the suitability of the model and confirmed that job demands and job resources evoke two relatively independent processes such as health impairment and motivational process. The multi-group analysis confirmed the invariance of the model between the two work alternatives. Thus, the JD-R model offers a useful framework to explain the job satisfaction of workers with intellectual disability. Implications for the improvement of personal and job results are discussed.
在智障人士工作的环境中,存在一些因素决定着他们的工作满意度。本研究的目的是检验工作要求-资源(JD-R)理论的核心假设在不同工作选择中的智障就业者中的适用性。本研究的数据来源于 362 名庇护性工作坊工人和 192 名支持性就业工人。采用结构方程模型和多群组分析对模型进行对比。结果支持该模型的适用性,并证实工作要求和工作资源引发了两个相对独立的过程,如健康损害和激励过程。多群组分析证实了该模型在两种工作选择中的不变性。因此,JD-R 模型为解释智障人士的工作满意度提供了一个有用的框架。讨论了对个人和工作结果的改进的影响。
