“…Therefore, they may have come to the programme with some level of intrinsic motivation. In addition, because it takes some inherent motivation to be a vocational rehabilitation programme participant (Tansey et al, ); student participants in this study may have had higher levels of initial work motivation than non‐vocational rehabilitation programme participants.…”

“…For transition‐aged youth with intellectual disabilities, employment skill instruction taught in the community and workplace settings provides opportunities to develop not only necessary vocational skills but also self‐determination skills and community involvement skills (Gilson, Carter, & Biggs, ). The youth, though, must be motivated enough to participate in the services (Tansey, Iwanaga, Bezyak, & Ditchman, ). Because work motivation may influence employment participation in those with intellectual disabilities (Kocman & Weber, ), the purpose of this exploratory study was to determine work motivation perceptions of students with intellectual disabilities before and after participation in a short‐term vocational rehabilitation summer programme.…”

Background A small group of transition‐aged students with intellectual disabilities participated in a short‐term summer work experience programme under the mentorship of a job coach. Methods Dyadic interview technique was used to identify student and mentor participants' perceptions of student participant work motivation pre‐ and post‐programme. Themes were identified and interpreted. Results Student participants reported becoming more intrinsically motivated and future‐focused by programme completion. They noted a broader outlook about the meaning of employment; moving from a narrow, financial‐focused, short‐term perception to a longer‐term, more holistic view of work. Although student participants reported high confidence levels for obtaining and keeping employment by programme completion, mentors voiced concerns about realism of their goals due to employment barriers for people with disabilities. Conclusions Work motivation has been previously associated with positive employment participation. Findings provide some support for assessment of work motivation in school‐to‐work transition planning.

“…Central to this theory are the concepts of self-efficacy and outcome expectancy. In VR, self-efficacy is assumed to influence expected outcomes, and outcome expectancy in turn influences service engagement and readiness for employment (Tansey, Iwanaga, Bezyak, & Ditchman, 2017). Outcome expectancy is referred to as personal beliefs that center on the probable and imagined outcomes of one's actions (Bandura, 1997;Williams, 2010).…”

“…An integrated model based on these two theories has recently been supported in the literature to explain engagement in VR services and motivation to work among adults with disabilities (Iwanaga et al, 2018;Tansey et al, 2017). In addition to supporting the connection between self-efficacy and outcome expectancy, the integrated model conceptualizes self-efficacy and competency as a unitary construct and posits a direct effect of the selfdetermination theory constructs on outcome expectancies and ultimately engagement.…”

“…In addition to supporting the connection between self-efficacy and outcome expectancy, the integrated model conceptualizes self-efficacy and competency as a unitary construct and posits a direct effect of the selfdetermination theory constructs on outcome expectancies and ultimately engagement. Tansey et al (2017) showed that relatedness, autonomy, and competency had direct effects on outcome expectancy and VR engagement, explaining over half (54%) of the variance in VR engagement. However, the extent to which this model explains motivation to engage in services among minority youth with disabilities has not been evaluated to date.…”

The purpose of this study was to draw from self-determination and self-efficacy theories to evaluate psychological constructs (autonomous motivation, competency, and outcome expectancy) as mediators of the relationship between working alliance and engagement in transition–vocational rehabilitation (VR) services among African American students with disabilities. A serial multiple mediation analysis was computed to evaluate the mediators of transition-VR service engagement in a sample of 88 African American high school students with disabilities. We found that working alliance was positively associated with active engagement in transition-VR services (total effect), whereas the direct effect of working alliance on engagement was not significant after controlling for the effects of autonomous motivation, competency, and outcome expectancy, supporting significant mediation effects. Findings suggest that a strong working alliance between students and rehabilitation counselors and transition specialists can foster autonomous motivation, competency, and outcome expectancy, resulting in higher levels of engagement in transition-VR services.

Working Alliance and Stages of Change for Employment: The Intermediary Role of Autonomous Motivation, Outcome Expectancy and Vocational Rehabilitation Engagement

Purpose Working alliance is one of the most important common factors for successful counseling/psychotherapy outcomes. Based on the empirical literature about working alliance, it seems that self-determination and self-efficacy theory (SDT/SET) can potentially be used as a motivational model to explain the relationship between working alliance and vocational rehabilitation (VR) outcomes. The purpose of this study is to evaluate three primary SDT/SET constructs, autonomous motivation, expectancy and engagement, as mediators for the relationship between working alliance and stages of change (SOC) for employment. Methods A serial multiple mediation analysis (SMMA) was computed to evaluate autonomy, outcome expectancy, and VR engagement as mediators of the relationship between working alliance and SOC for employment in a sample of 277 people with chronic illness and disability (CID) receiving services from state VR agencies in the United States. Results The SMMA results indicated that working alliance was positively associated with SOC for employment (total effect), while the direct effect between working alliance and SOC for employment was not significant after controlling for the effects of the mediators, indicating significant mediation effects. The mediation effects were estimates of the indirect effects for working alliance on SOC for employment through (a) autonomous motivation, (b) outcome expectancy, (c) VR engagement, and (d) autonomous motivation, outcome expectancy and VR engagement together. Conclusions The results indicated that a strong working alliance has the benefit of helping consumers develop autonomous motivation to work and increasing their vocational outcome expectancy and engagement in VR services, leading to employment.
