Resumo(s)
Despite being the world’s largest minority group, and many researches that showed a favourable
attitude of employers toward hiring people with disabilities, people with disabilities are still
underrepresented across countries, even in the most advanced economies.
“Fears of uncertainty” and “lack of experience” are often pinpointed as the reasons that prevent
companies from hiring people with disabilities. Therefore, to encourage companies to hire people
with disabilities and create an inclusive working environment for people with disabilities, this
research aimed at exploring the perceived fears and risks associated with hiring people with
disabilities, and how these fears and risks can be managed. Moreover, suggestions on things that can
be done to create an inclusive working environment are also examined.
The research first started by looking into the existing studies about the topic to understand the
concept of diversity, inclusive working environment, disability, as well as the perceived benefits and
perceived risks of hiring people with disabilities possessed by the companies.
Afterwards, 28 in-depth interviews with manager and employees with and without disabilities were
conducted.
In the end, this research reviews and provides guidance on how companies can better recruit and
create an inclusive working environment for people with disabilities in the workplace.
