Results：The internal consistency coefficients(Cronbach alpha) of each subscale range from α=.43 to α=.68, and the Cronbach alpha of the total scale is α=.84. This scale has relations with outcome of rehabilitation such as job tenure and degree of independency of job. Especially the Pay subscale is high relations with the job independency and the duration of job maintenance. Also the subjective job satisfaction positively correlates with the WBI. This results show that the criterion related validation of this scale is high.
