Methods: We used 4 years consecutive data from Panel Study of Worker’s Compensation Insurance. The data werecollected from 2000 injured workers in termination of medical service from January to December 2012. Thesamples were divided into job retention group(n=695) and reemployment group(n=642) on primary data andconfirmed the factors that affect the type of return-to-work. Additionally, we analyzed the factors influencing jobmaintenance in the job retention group, which divided into the successful group(n=418) and the failure group(n=152).
Results: Job retention was shown more in subjects who maintained good relations with a company and worked fora long period, were a regular worker, were given any convenience from a company, worked in large company, andhad less pain. Moreover, the factors affecting job maintenance were ranked employment period, level of education,and gender.
Conclusion: This study shows that job retention can lead job maintenance more efficiently than reemployment. Themain factor that affects job retention is workstation factor, and that affects job maintenance is the employmentperiod.
