SEM was used to investigate how satisfaction for assistive technology influences job performance, job satisfaction, new activity and quality of life. In this study a population of 4,142 workers with disabilities were extracted from the list of workers that were provided with assistive technology devices by the Korea Employment Promotion Agency for the Disabled(KEPAD). The survey sample was extracted using stratified and systematic sampling. Face to face interview was conducted from Sept. 17, 2008 from Oct. 11th 2008. Total of 512 interview surveys were analyzed.
