The study examined whether achieving a job that matches the Individualized Plan for Employment (IPE) goal is associated with better vocational rehabilitation outcomes. The study analyzed data from 171 vocational rehabilitation clients who were successfully rehabilitated and closed in 2002 by the Maryland State Department of Education Division of Rehabilitation Services. Results supported that Holland’s person–environment congruence predicts employment outcomes, with congruence significantly affecting wages and, along with educational attainment and disability category, influencing outcomes, though it did not improve vocational satisfaction.
This study examined the relationship between attaining a job congruent with the Individualized Plan for Employment (IPE) vocational rehabilitation goal and vocational rehabilitation outcomes. Study participants were 171 vocational rehabilitation clients served by the Maryland State Department of Education Division of Rehabilitation Services (DORS) who were successfully rehabilitated and closed (Status 26) in 2002. Results generally supported the relationship between Holland's person—environment congruence construct and employment outcomes for this population. The IPE goal and employment outcome congruency was found to have a significant effect on participants' wages. In addition, educational attainment and disability category were also found to affect vocational rehabilitation employment outcomes. However, person—environment congruence did not increase participants' vocational satisfaction.
