Reasons for job separations in a cohort of workers with psychiatric disabilities
Judith A. Cook, PhD; Jane K. Burke-Miller, PhD
Workers with disabling mental health conditions
have high rates of job termination, and this research
explored the reasons why this happens. Results indicated
that most people quit their jobs voluntarily
rather than being fired or laid off. However, few people
quit their jobs to take better positions. The most
important factors associated with quitting were not
liking the job and low pay. Married people, younger
workers, and members of racial and/or ethnic minority
groups were also more likely to quit. The study???s
findings suggest that employment services aimed at
avoiding job leaving should help people find jobs
with which they are satisfied and those that pay well.
