Role And Function

After a review of VR counselor role and function studies prior to and since 1973, the authors hypothesized that compared to the 1960's rehabilitation counselors are currently devoting: (a) less time to counseling and guidance activities; (b) more time to paperwork, (c) more time to arranging for services; and (d) about the same amount of time to placement activities. It was also hypothesized that VR counselors currently prefer to devote more time to counseling and guidance, and less time to paperwork. Analyses of the data collected from a sample of 31 rehabilitation counselors, 17 administrators and supervisors and 9 rehabilitation educators attending a 1978 NRCA Conference Program, suggested that VR counselors are currently devoting: (a) less time to counseling and guidance activities; (b) more time to paperwork, (c) more time to arranging for services, and (d) about the same amount of time to placement activities. Significant differences between estimated and preferred percentages of time, suggested that VR counselors are experiencing role strain. Discussions relevant to legislative mandates role strain, and future research are also included.

A national random sample of (a) 160 rehabilitation counselors; (b) 83 rehabilitation managers, administrators, and supervisors; and, (c) 23 rehabilitation educators, responded to three scales on each of the 40 items on the Abbreviated Rehabilitation Counselor Task Inventory. Data were analyzed on each item as well as by 11 Job Task Categories: (a) Placement; (b) Affective Counseling; (c) Group Procedures; (d) Vocational Counseling; (e) Medical Referral; (f) Eligibility-Case Finding; (g) Test Administration; (h) Test Interpretation; (i) Case Services Coordination; (j) Intervention with Client's Family; and, (k) Miscellaneous. Results and their implications were reported for: (l) rehabilitation counselor roles and functions; (2) rehabilitation counselor time sufficiency and desire for role and function change; (3) sources of role strain; (4) indices of rehabilitation counselor burnout; and, (5) changes in rehabilitation counselor role and functions since the mid 196Os.

The Ideal

This study compared the responses of a group of 132 medical professionals and a group of 129 allied health professionals and the present and ideal role and function of the rehabilitation counselor in the medical setting. Both groups rated the ideal function significantly higher than the present function with one exception. Both groups perceived the ideal and present functions to be more alike than different. When they differed, the allied health group emphasized more traditional roles on the present scale, while the medical group emphasized more psychological functions on the ideal scale. The results are discussed particularly as it relates to role expansion.

Role And Function

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the role and function of visuals, visual communication and information design as they relate to management control systems and visual management (VM) in lean-inspired organisations. This paper helps expand knowledge on how visual and design studies can contribute to research on VM as part of a management control system. Design/methodology/approach A study is outlined, which was conducted at a multinational manufacturing company to investigate employees’ perceptions and use of visual devices on the shop floor, including their related reactions and behaviour. The study is delimited to operation management, lean manufacturing and lean boards (i.e. daily management boards and performance measurement boards). Findings The findings point out the persuasive purpose of lean boards, as well as the metaphoric and persuasive functions of the visuals and information design in management control systems. Originality/value Visual research and design research are rare within studies of management control systems. There is a need to perform research that takes into account the role and function of visual communication and information design in VM. The proposed areas for future research can provide design principles, as well as insights into the complexity of visual communication and information design in VM and management control studies.

Seven vocational rehabilitation counselors individually administered a 37 item Employer Attitude Survey Questionnaire to 34 employers from large and 23 employers from small business establishments. The questionnaire covered: (a) attitudes of employers toward the employment of the handicapped, vocational rehabilitation, and vocational rehabilitation's efforts to secure employment for the handicapped; (b) employer expectations and preferences for vocational rehabilitation counselor placement and follow-up techniques; and, (c) types of information desired by employers when they consider a handicapped person for employment. Implications for pre-service and inservice education and training, placement, job development, client advocacy, and future research are discussed.

The purpose of this study was to explore certified rehabilitation counselors’ (CRCs’) importance of and preparedness in the labor market survey (LMS) competency through data collected by theKnowledge Validation Inventory-Revised(KVI-R) instrument used by the Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification’s (CRCC) 2011 role and function study (CCRC, 2011b; Leahy, Chan, Sung, & Kim, 2011). LMS is a primary data collection method for gathering occupational and labor market information. Thus, this competency was examined because of its importance in the areas of rehabilitation counseling where this data is usually applied—transferable skills analysis, vocational decision making, job development and placement, and forensics. In this ex post facto secondary analysis, the single largest group of CRCs found LMS to beverytoextremely importantbut also reported onlymoderate preparednessto perform the function. Significant differences were found by geographical location, particularly between the Mid and South Atlantic, and in experience. Discussion, conclusions, implications, and areas for further research are addressed.
