Description
Summary:One hundred and thirty-two graduates with learning disabilities (LD) of a large, public, competitive postsecondary institution were surveyed to determine levels of employment self-efficacy and satisfaction. Based upon a response rate of 67% (N = 89), graduates reported high levels of employment self-efficacy and satisfaction. Although there were no significant differences related to levels of self-efficacy and job satisfaction and selected demographic variables, perceptions of employment self-efficacy and the use of self-regulatory strategies/accommodations were found to be significant predictors of employment satisfaction.
