Occupational Congruence in the Placement of Injured Workers

University of Alabama

This study examined the congruence of occupations into which injured workers were placed in comparison to those performed in the past. The congruence of demographic and injury characteristics of participants and their worker traits demonstrated during previous employment was explored through discriminant analysis. The analysis indicated that three variables—demonstrated temperament for working with people, loss of strength capacity after the injury, and case velocity (the number of days elapsed from injury to case closure)—correctly classified 37.9% of participants into the observed occupational congruence category.
