Personal Factors Associated with Satisfaction in Labor Market Participation Among Cancer Survivors
1Wisconsin Center for Education Research, University of Wisconsin - Madison, Madison, WI, USA.
Purpose:
To investigate personal factors that correlate with satisfaction with labor market participation (SLMP) among cancer survivors who continue experiencing barriers to employment in remission and are considered to have a disability under the ADA Amendments Act of 2008. The following research question was explored: Which personal factors are associated with the SLMP of cancer survivors?
Methods:
Participants were recruited through convenience sampling from the crowdsourcing platform, Prolific, and invited to complete an online survey. Multiple linear regression examined the association between cancer survivors' SLMP and personal factors.
Results:
Age was a positive predictor of SLMP (βj = 0.11; p < .05) whereas not being married (βj = -2.36; p < .05), unemployed (βj = -7.85; p < .01), and higher functional score (i.e., lower functional ability; βj = -0.33; p < .001) were negative predictors. The interaction between having completed a degree in secondary education and being self-employed was a positive predictor (βj = 16.43; p < .05) of SLMP, meaning that SLMP were higher for people who completed at least some postsecondary education and reported being self-employed. The relationship is relatively large and may hold practical significance with an adjusted R 2 = 0.338 with an F-statistic of 5.928 (p < .001).
Conclusions:
Results from this exploratory study provide insight into possible correlates of SLMP.
