摘要
This study examined the job performance of adolescents with emotional and behavioral disorders (E/BD). Adolescent employees with E/BD (n = 47) and their immediate supervisors (n 47) rated (a) adolescents' performance of 50 workplace behaviors and (b) the importance of those same behaviors to success on the job. Significant discrepancies were found between supervisors' ratings of the importance of work behaviors and their ratings of adolescents' performance of the same behaviors. In addition, adolescents' ratings of their own job performance were significantly more favorable than the ratings of their supervisors. Implications of the study are discussed within the context of secondary transition programming for adolescents with E/BD.
