Purpose This study aimed to synthesise the available knowledge on how participant engagement in supported employment (SE) interventions is presented, defined, and conceptualised. We also aimed to develop a working definition of participant engagement in SE based on the results of our study. Methods This systematic scoping review was conducted following the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews. The following databases were systematically searched: EBSCO, SCOPUS, Social Care Online, and JSTOR. We included peer-reviewed publications in English based on empirical studies. Results Sixteen articles met the inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis. Thematic framework analysis resulted in three themes conveying the concept of participant engagement: self-determined choice, empowerment, and collaboration/working alliance. We suggest that participant engagement in SE is an active multifaceted process that involves the empowerment of participants, participants' exercise of self-determined informed choice, and their collaboration with SE practitioners in a working alliance. Conclusions Participant empowerment, self-determined choice, and collaboration are important aspects of participant engagement in SE. The study results will appeal to SE practitioners and make significant contributions to the broader field of other vocational services supporting people in (re-)entering the competitive labour market.
目的 本研究旨在综合现有知识，阐述、定义和概念化参与者在支持性就业（SE）干预中的参与情况。我们还旨在根据我们的研究结果，制定一个关于 SE 中参与者参与的工作定义。
方法 本系统范围综述遵循 PRISMA 扩展的范围综述进行。系统地搜索了以下数据库：EBSCO、SCOPUS、Social Care Online 和 JSTOR。我们根据实证研究纳入了英文同行评审出版物。
结果 符合纳入标准并纳入最终分析的文章有 16 篇。主题框架分析产生了三个主题，传达了参与者参与的概念：自主选择、赋权和合作/工作联盟。我们认为，SE 中的参与者参与是一个积极的多方面过程，涉及参与者的赋权、参与者行使自主知情选择，以及他们与 SE 从业者在工作联盟中的合作。
结论 参与者赋权、自主选择和合作是 SE 中参与者参与的重要方面。研究结果将吸引 SE 从业者，并为支持人们（重新）进入竞争劳动力市场的其他职业服务领域做出重要贡献。
