The research regarding employees' job satisfaction is one of the most important indicators of their vocational adjustment or outcome. In addition, understanding the level of job satisfaction of employees' with disabilities it is important to understand the predictors of success. This knowledge contributes to the qualitative and the quantitative improvement of vocational rehabilitation outcomes for individuals with disabilities. The purpose of this dissertation was to explore the job satisfaction of South Korean masseurs with visual impairments, utilizing the Social Cognitive Career Theory framework. A total of 221 South Korean masseurs with visual impairment responded to a survey, Including a demographic questionnaire and five instruments: Index of Job Satisfaction(IJS), The International Positive and Negative Affect Schedule short form (I-PANAS-SF), the Personal Efficacy Beliefs Scale (PEBS), Subjective Fit Perception(SFP), and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support(MSPSS). Multiple regression analysis indicated that as masseurs in this study considered that they have a better fit with their job, as they experienced being more efficacious with their massage skills, and as they felt more positive, their level of job satisfaction was higher. Moreover, as masseurs in this study experience having a better fit with their job regarding their monetary aspects, as they feel efficacious with their massage skills, as they feel more positive, and as they consider their job duties fit their education or skills they learned, their level of job satisfaction also was higher. However, in this model (when these social cognitive career variables were accounted for altogether), no matter how masseurs with visual impairments consider how their personal values fit with their organizational values or how much social support they received from their family, friend, or significant others did not appear to contribute to overall their job satisfaction. In addition, the analysis supported the existence of a moderating effect of positive affect on the relationship between subjective fit and job satisfaction, in addition to the moderating effect of social support on the relationship between work related self-efficacy and job satisfaction among masseurs in this study. In conclusion, the integrative model of work satisfaction (Lent &Brown, 2006, 2008)provided a good overall fit to the data. Discussion of the results of the analyses of this study and limitations were demonstrated. Finally, implications for policy makers, researchers, and career counselors were also provided.

Hispanic/Latino immigrants represent a significant and rapidly increasing population in the United States. Immigrants may suffer from numerous disadvantages in comparison to the predominant culture. Hispanic/Latino immigrant injured workers are being stigmatized for their lack of education and low social-economic status that they have in the U.S. The Hispanic/ Latino populations are willing to undertake the most risky, menial, and strenuous jobs, thereby increasing the possibility of workplace injury. Commonly, they receive vocational rehabilitation through private-sector insurance rehabilitation that most often is within Workers' Compensation systems. Vaughn, Taylor, and Russell (1998) stated that it is unclear what specific issues confront rehabilitation practitioners employed in the private sector, and whether their training needs can address the unique conflicts encountered within the case management role. Moreover, Shaw et al. (2006) noted that there is an absence of convincing research demonstrating the effectiveness of rehabilitation service in this setting. Although research in counselor competencies for those who work in different settings was conducted over the years, studies on rehabilitation counselor competencies when working with Hispanic/Latino immigrant injured workers have not been conducted. The purpose of this Delphi study was to explore and identify what attitudes, knowledge, and skills rehabilitation counselors in the private sector need when working with Hispanic/Latino immigrant injured workers. A Delphi methodology was implemented to conduct this research. In Round One, experts' responses that emerged from five open-ended questions were considered. Fifty items remained at the conclusion of the Delphi process as the resultant rankings in Rounds Two and Three of various competencies were evaluated. The results of the current study showed that for practitioners who work with Hispanic/Latino immigrants injured workers, it is crucial to become competent in multiculturalism and ethics. However, the literature noted that counselors who work in the private sector have a critical need of training in multicultural and ethical decision- making Information obtained for this study can be used to construct guidelines that determine the importance of certain attitudes, knowledge, and skills when developing training, in addition to updating the scope of practice for the professional organization.
