This study examined the application of social-cognitive career theory(SCCT) to investigate the career preparation process for people with physical disabilities, Specifically, the mediating effect of job self-efficacy on the relationships between degree of disability and career preparation behaviors were investigated. This study analyzed the Panel Survey of Employment for the Disabled(PSED) data set gathered from 320 unemployed individuals with physical disabilities, aged 19 to 49 years, who were currently looking for a job. Using structural equation modeling(SEM), the results indicated that degree of disability was significantly and negatively associated with levels of job self-efficacy, but had no direct impact on career preparation behaviors. In addition, the relationships between degree of disability and career preparation behaviors were fully mediated by job self-efficacy. These results suggest that it is important to consider levels of job self-efficacy in facilitating the career preparation behaviors for people with physical disabilities.
