Analyses were also conducted to identify the best predictors of co-worker involvement. Results supported the construct validity of the measures employed to assess co-worker involvement. Results also indicated that, (a) co-workers were involved in associating, advocating, training, and evaluating most of the time with the majority of supported employees; (b) co-worker involvement typically occurred every single month or not at all; (c) type of placement and disability affected the amount of involvement; (d) occupation affect measures of the potential for involvement; and (e) ratings by employment specialists were the best predictors of co-worker involvement followed by type of placement, occupation, and disability. Results of this study implied that the level of integration and on-going support provided by co-workers is high and enduring. Implications for service provision and future research were discussed.
