“…Research evidence has indicated that an individual's vocational performance cannot be predicted by simply knowing how the person performs in other settings (Anthony, 1994). Other data have suggested that there is little relationship between hospital-based measures of adjustment and community-based measures of adjustment (Forsythe & Fairweather, 1961).…”

“…However the opposite is often true with symptoms tending to decrease and improved mental health outcomes. Work can serve as a distraction from worries and persistent psychotic symptoms (Anthony, 1994). This is also the case with the general population as work status is often a strong predictor of life satisfaction as it brings status, income and social opportunities (Bryson, Lysaker, & Bell, 2002).…”

“…Confidence is often low as a result of stigma, long-term unemployment, poverty, disturbing symptoms of mental illness, side effects of medication and hospitalisations. A higher number of hospitalisations are often associated with poor work adjustment and higher unemployment (Anthony 1994). In a study of quality of life and self-esteem in working and non-working persons with mental illness Van Dongen (1996) found positive attitudes towards psychotropic medications by both workers and non-workers who were taking these medications.…”

This paper explores the design and application of information communication technologies and human computer interaction for people recovering from severe mental illness wishing to gain employment. It is argued bias, misinformation and disinformation limit opportunities for people recovering from mental illness who are seeking employment. Issues of bias are explored in relation to systems design as well as dominant socially constructed paradigms of 'mental health' and 'mental illness' and employment. Misinformation is discussed according to the contemporary dominant paradigm of 'recovery' as well as web resources, discrimination and employment. Disinformation is considered in terms of media myths and stereotypes and vocational rehabilitation. Multidisciplinary collaboration is required to meet the ICT needs of this diverse group.

“…However, few strong associations were found between these variables and employment success defined variously in terms of job attainment, job retention, or number of hours worked [1,2,19]. Contemporary conceptualizations have moved beyond individually focused models to understand employment of people with mental illness as a dynamic process of interaction among several factors like the strengths, competencies, and needs of the worker, the nature of the job, and the demands of the work environment [20].…”

“…Unfortunately, the majority of individuals with serious mental illness are unemployed [1][2][3][4][5]. For those with mental illness who are employed there is increasing evidence that current workplace environments are contributing to the development and/or exacerbation of mental illness and disability [6,7].…”

This paper reviews the literature on the interplay between employment integration and retention of individuals diagnosed with mental health and related disability (MHRD). Specifically, the paper addresses the importance of an integrative approach, utilizing a social epidemiological approach to assess various factors that are related to the employment integration of individuals diagnosed with severe mental illness. Our approach to the review incorporates a research methodology that is multilayered, mixed, and contextual. The review examines the literature that aims to unpack employers' understanding of mental illness and their attitudes, beliefs, and practices about employing workers with mental illness. Additionally we offer a conceptual framework entrenched within the social determinants of the mental health (SDOMH) literature as a way to contextualize the review conclusions. This approach contributes to a holistic understanding of workplace mental health conceptually and methodologically particularly as practitioners and policy makers alike are grappling with better ways to integrate employees who are diagnosed with mental health and disabilities into to the workplace.
