This study examines the determinants of employment choices of injured workers after returning to original work. Using the fourth wave of the panel study of workers’ compensation insurance, a sample of injured workers who returned to work in 2013 was obtained and discrete time hazard models were estimated. The results of this study are as followings: While injured workers with higher labor income, homeownership, disabities are less likely to leave their original jobs, those injured workers who have higher nonlabor income or experience a higher increase in nonlabor income, have mild disabilities, physical disabilities, shorter work periods, longer return-to-work periods, and more professional certificates or licenses are more likely to leave their jobs and to work at other work places or choose not to work. Those injured workers in large-sized firms have a lower hazard rate that means lower job-leave rate. Several RTW programs were found to be effective to retain injured workers in their jobs. As a conclusion, this study provide some of the information needed to develop policy and strategy for stable job retention at original workplace.
