This research project is aimed at developing a criterion-referenced, computerized job-matching system for people with physical disabilities. The sources for occupational information were various, such as public and private vocational service agencies, vocational training programs, national competition of job-related skills for people with physical disabilities, as well as relevant research reports. At the same time, the job analysis forms originally developed by the Vocational Training Bureau of the Council of Labor Affairs were modified to meet the needs of assessing the skills and other factors required for the worker to successfully perform each of these jobs according to actual industrial standards. All items in relation to abilities required to perform satisfactorily in a job are scaled according to the complexity of skills involved. The validity of this job-matching system was established by examining the relationship between the performance in training program and job-matching results in both 9 subjects with physical disabilities who just completed advanced courses in word processing and computer graphics and 5 subjects who attended embroidery. Each subject underwent a series of vocational aptitude tests and physical capacity evaluation. The results of nonparametric test demonstrated a significant concordance between subject's performance in computer training program and job-matching profile. However, no significant difference was obtained for subjects with vocational training in embroidery. In summary, this software program can be used to quickly and efficiently make valid job matches for people with physical handicap. It is recommended that future validity study be conducted with various types of vocational training programs and that more jobs be compiled into the job bank so that its functions can be further upgraded. |
