This research was performed to evaluate the factors affecting return-to-work(pre-injury job and work at a new firm) of occupationally injured workers who had experienced to use of the rehabilitation services.
Using the data from the Workers’ Compensation Insurance Panel of the Korea Workers’ Compensation and Welfare Service Corporation, this study analysed the relationship between rehabilitation services and return-to-work. The sample is 1,907 occupationally injured workers who finished medical care.
In examining the relationship, this study employed the method of Propensity Score Matching and Binary Logistic Regression.
The results show that most of the rehabilitation services have statistically significant negative effect on the return-to-work(pre-injury job and work at a new firm) of occupationally injured workers. The vocational rehabilitation service and medical rehabilitation service do not have statistically significant effect on the return-to-work (pre-injury job and work at a new firm). On the other hand, the psycho-social rehabilitation service has statistically significant negative effect on the return-to-work(pre-injury job and work at a new firm). It is assumed that the goal of the psycho-social rehabilitation services is usually for social adjustment in this respect. Based on these results, this study suggests the social welfare interventions and policy implications.
