How Do Employers View People with Disabilities in the Labour Market?

Abstract: The object of this study was to examine how employers view people with disabilities in the labour market. Previous work had shown that employers maintain some perplexing views. Although they report positive attitudes toward people with disabilities in the workplace, these attitudes are not associated with the hiring practice of employers (Chan et al., 2010). To address this issue, researchers called upon the concept of aversive disablism (Deal, 2007). A total of 64 employers from New Brunswick and Quebec parti… Show more

“…Lindsay (2011) identified disability as one of the reason teens and youth were discriminated against in employment opportunities. Some employers still express that PWDs are not equipped to function adequately in the organization as their personal and professional attributes are not believed to conform to organizational norms and priorities (Beaton, Kabano and Léger, 2012). Other studies cite that the nature of the work in the hotel industry is such that it cannot be effectively performed by PWDs (Groschl, 2007;Houtenville and Kalargyrou, 2012).…”

“…En effet, les personnes ayant des incapacités jugent que les employeurs et les intervenants sociaux jouent un rôle déterminant dans leur embauche (Kabano & Beaton, 2011). Or, les auteurs concluent que les jugements à l'égard des personnes ayant des incapacités sur le marché de l'emploi sont équivoques et que les personnes ayant des incapacités sont mal comprises (Beaton, Kabano, & Léger, 2014;Colella & Stone, 2005; Conseil canadien de la réadaptation et le travail, 2005).…”

“…Cette reconnais-sance étriquée des personnes ayant des incapacités fait en sorte qu'elles sont parfois embauchées en fonction des critères qui ne relèvent pas des compétences propres à l'emploi postulé (ex. : l'image de l'entreprise) et sont cantonnées dans des emplois ne leur permettant pas de faire leurs preuves (Beaton et al, 2014;Luecking, 2008). De plus, selon les résultats de deux études nationales menées aux États-Unis, les intervenants sont plus enclins à diriger la personne ayant des incapacités vers un milieu de travail protégé plutôt qu'un milieu de travail intégré (Domin & Butterworth, 2013;Inge et al, 2009), tendance qui pourrait être attribuée par ce que certains auteurs du champ d'études sur le handicap appellent le paternalisme (Batavia, 2001;Colella & Stone, 2005;Jackman, 1994Jackman, , 2005Miller, Parker, & Gillinson, 2004).…”
