Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the relationships between perceived lifestress, job satisfaction and life satisfaction in people with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities. The sample consisted of 68 people with intellectual disabilities (female, n=40; male n=28) who were working in supported employment. Participants were required to complete an interview during which the Personal Wellbeing Index, the Lifestress Inventory and Job Satisfaction measure were administered. Data were analysed using SPSS for Windows Version 11 (SPSS 11). As expected a significant positive relationship was found between life satisfaction and job satisfaction, however, no significant correlations were found between stress and life satisfaction nor between stress and job satisfaction. A significant positive relationship was found between community-connectedness (a domain of life satisfaction) and gender, with females reporting higher levels of community-connectedness. Regression analyses indicated that job satisfaction significantly predicted global life satisfaction and the sub-domains of life achievement and personal relationships. The applications and implications of these findings are discussed.
