    Abstract

    Research has found that, although work may not provide comprehensive benefits for people with psychiatric disabilities, it does help them live more satisfactory lives. A self-report questionnaire that incorporated several scales was administrated to 134 persons with severe psychiatric disabilities working under different workplace conditions to find out what factors most contributed to perceptions of job satisfaction and quality of life. The study found that subjective quality of life was directly influenced by mental health functioning, informal social support, and job satisfaction, and indirectly influenced by perceived life stress and formal social support.
