OBJECTIVES: This study examines the relative contribution of employment-related and general self-efficacy to perceptions of quality of life (QoL) for individuals with traumatic brain injury. DESIGN: Correlational. SETTING: Community-based research and training center. PARTICIPANTS: 427 individuals with self-reported TBI under the age of 65 were included in analysis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Employment-related self-efficacy, general self-efficacy, perceived quality of life (PQoL), unmet important needs (UIN). RESULTS: Significant correlations were found between income, injury severity, age at injury, and employment and the QoL variables. In addition, employment-related and general self-efficacy correlated positively with both PQoL and UIN. Employment-related and general self-efficacy accounted for 16% of the variance in PQoL and 9.5% of the variance in UIN, over and above other variables traditionally associated with QoL. CONCLUSIONS: These findings highlight the importance of including subjective appraisals of employment, such as perceived self-efficacy at the workplace, in assessing QoL and successful return to work following TBI.
