This study examined the correlates of job satisfaction in a sample of 65 mentally retarded adults who had been released from a state institution nearly five years prior to the research. The sample members were divided into four groups on the basis of their job status and job mobility. In two of the groups, sample members were downwardly mobile. In the other two groups, they were either upwardly mobile or had maintained a stable employment status. It was found that the downwardly mobile sample members were much less satisfied with their jobs than were those who were not downwardly mobile. Other variables that were found to correlate with sample members' job satisfaction included the size of the work setting, the social skills and communication skills of the sample members, and the extent to which sample members were given feedback about their performance by their supervisors at work.
本研究调查了65名智力障碍成年人的工作满意度相关因素，这些成年人在研究开展前近五年从一家州立机构获释。样本成员根据其工作状态和工作流动性分为四组。在其中两组中，样本成员工作流动性下降。在另外两组中，他们要么工作流动性上升，要么保持稳定的就业状态。研究发现，工作流动性下降的样本成员对工作的满意度远低于未出现工作流动性下降的成员。其他与样本成员工作满意度相关的变量包括工作场所的规模、样本成员的社交技能和沟通技能，以及样本成员在工作中从上级那里获得绩效反馈的程度。
