ABSTRACT

This study aims to investigate the effects of employers’ attitude toward persons with disabilities regarding their satisfaction with employment and to verify the mediating effect of organizational commitment and the moderating effect of education and training support. The mixed method was applied to this study, including a quantitative analysis of the data from the Survey on the Employment of the Disabled (2014) on 4,337 businesses that employed the disabled and a qualitative analysis based on the in-depth interviews of 14 people such as business owners, managers, and disabled workers. The data were analyzed by a multiple regression and the Colaizzi's research method. The quantitative analyses found that employer’s attitude had a significant effect on their satisfaction with employment (β=.186, p<.001) and education and training supports had a direct effect on employer's satisfaction with employment (β=.112, p<.001). The qualitative analysis reveals that the employers’ positive perception toward persons with disabilities was critical to facilitate educational training environment.
