SATYSFAKCJA Z PRACY U OSÓB NIEPEŁNOSPRAWNYCH O RÓŻNYM POZIOMIE IDENTYFIKACJI Z ZAWODEM

Nowadays one of the principal objectives of vocational rehabilitation of the disabled is the adjustment of employment opportunities to individual preferences and capabilities of the group in question. The fulfillment of this goal requires a solid empirical basis which would provide information about the professional situation of the respondents and its determining factors. These issues are subject to discussion in the present work which demonstrates the results of studies conducted with the participation of professionally active people with disabilities. The analyses undertaken for the purpose aimed at determining the interdependence between the level of professional identification and job satisfaction. In order to realize this aim the researchers applied a set of self-devised analytical tools. The findings obtained from the studies, which should be regarded as a contribution to further exploration of the issues, made possible not only the description of the persons reporting a particular level of professional identification but they also facilitated the assessment of job satisfaction in terms of 1) compatibility of expectations and capabilities with job requirements, 2) career opportunities, 3) personal contribution to professional duties, 4) remuneration, 5) formal and organizational aspects of working conditions, 6) adjustment of physical conditions to the limitations resulting from disability, 7) social support (given and received) at workplace, as well as 8) social relationships. Last but not least, the findings helped to determine the degree of job satisfaction in the above mentioned categories among the persons reporting various levels of professional identification.
