“…The EHS-14 is scored on a 1-to-10 Likert scale with higher scores representing stronger levels of employment hope. The EHS-14 has shown strong reliability and validity in samples that include people with mental illness [ 21 ]. In this study, Cronbach’s alpha was 0.925 for the full EHS-14 scale (all items), 0.862 for the Psychological Empowerment subscale and 0.895 for the Goal-Oriented Pathways subscale.…”

“…Employment hope is also characterized as a transformative process in which a person becomes empowered and motivated for the future, envisioning the possibility of meaningful and satisfying employment, progresses toward work goals using resources and skills [ 19 ]. Studies of employment hope have found that it is directly related to more positive work outcomes [ 20 ], and more recently, it has been found to mediate the relationship between job-related barriers and economic self-sufficiency in people with mental illness through the pathway of increasing psychological self-sufficiency [ 21 ]. Further, among a sample of people formerly involved with the criminal justice system, employment hope mediated the path between self-esteem and economic self-sufficiency [ 22 ].…”

Introduction: Employment is an important contributor to recovery in people with serious mental illness (SMI), yet studies have not explored how subjective elements of employment hope contribute to perceptions of global recovery in this population. Methods: The current study examined the relationship between employment hope and subjective recovery in 276 unemployed adults with SMI participating in a multi-site clinical trial of a cognitive behavioral group intervention tailored toward work and combined with vocational rehabilitation. Participants had diagnoses of schizophrenia spectrum, bipolar, depressive, and posttraumatic stress disorders, and were receiving services at three Veterans Affairs healthcare facilities in the United States. Data were collected at study baseline. Linear regression analysis examined the relationship between employment hope (Short Employment Hope Scale; EHS-14) and subjective recovery (Recovery Assessment Scale; RAS) after controlling for psychiatric symptom severity and mental-health-related burden on daily life. Results: After accounting for covariates, employment hope significantly contributed to the regression model explaining subjective recovery. The overall model of predictor variables explained 52.5% of the variance in recovery. The results further explore the relationships between EHS-14 and RAS subscales. Conclusions: The findings suggest that employment hope is a key intervention target to bolster subjective recovery in this vulnerable population.
