Predicting satisfaction with vocational status among people with serious mental illness in vocational services: the role of perceived skills and support

The study highlights the importance of perceived skills and support in enhancing satisfaction with vocational status for people with SMI regardless of the vocational service type. Whereas objective factors like employment status and salary contribute to vocational rehabilitation and quality of life, subjective perceptions of skills and support play a significant role in satisfaction with vocational status. The results suggest that vocational rehabilitation services should monitor consumers' perceptions of skills and support to improve their vocational satisfaction, which can promote personal well-being and social integration.
