“…In this study it was noted that employee productivity was aligned to adequate and positive organisational support.

This is a scoping review of literature on human resource management (HRM) and management practice that impacts on workers with physical, mental health and intellectual disabilities, employed or entering paid employment. The aim is to illuminate the use of HRM practices, managerial attitudes and employee outcomes in the disability literature. The methodological research framework commenced with seven databases and was supported with evidenced‐based literature to find three main themes. Themes highlight the management and employer support for workers with disabilities, discrimination and attitudes towards employment of this cohort of workers, and performance and employment outcomes. As governments around the world seek to reduce welfare costs and increase the employment of people with disabilities this paper is timely. Overall, the paper contributes to a dearth of literature on the management of people with disabilities at the workplace to unpack the key barriers, challenges and trends, and develop a comprehensive research agenda.

“…Participants also expressed that employees with disabilities performed adequately, practiced safe work habits, were valuable team members, required no extra supervision, were not frequently absent, and were dressed and groomed appropriately. Employers in the Information Technology sector supported the employment of people with disabilities and not only indicated a willingness to hire qualified applicants with disabilities, but respondents also believed individuals with disabilities were able to perform as well as people without disabilities (Greenan, Wu & Black, 2003). Negative Attitudes Toward Work Performance Despite these positive results, four studies reviewed exposed negative attitudes regarding work performance of individuals with disabilities.…”

This selective review provides an overview of salient research findings related to employers' attitudes towards disability and prospective influences on employers to improve employment outcomes of people with disabilities. Research studies included for review are mainly those which investigated employer attitudes towards disability as predispositions to hiring people with disability. Selected studies were classified into three categories including hiring and accommodating employees with disabilities, work performance, and affective reactions and behavioural intentions of employers. Excluded from the review were studies that investigated other factors influencing employer attitudes toward disability. Altogether 34 research studies from the period of 1987 until 2012 were included in the review. Primary databases for the review included ProQuest, Ebscohost, Lexus Nexus, ERICK Database and the Sage Sociology Collection. This review of the demand-side employment literature suggests employers hold relatively positive attitudes regarding individuals with disabilities. However, employer affective reactions and behavioural intentions of employers towards disability in the work setting were less positive and negatively impact hiring decisions, provision of accommodations and work performance appraisals. Employer attitudes represent an important demand-side factor impacting full participation in competitive employment for individuals with disabilities. While employers report generally positive attitudes toward disability, hiring practices may still be discriminatory. Use by rehabilitation professionals of demand-side strategies with employers would likely result in higher rates of work participation by people with disabilities.

“…5 of the EWDs (14.25%) indicated that employers displayed negative attitudes to problems. Studies reveal that employers have positive attitudes towards work capacity of PWDs (Greenan, Wu and Black, 2002;Aile, Çalışma ve Sosyal Politikalar Bakanlığı, 2011;Petty and Fussell, 1992). One study in literature towards female EWDs shows findings that female EWDs usually do not experience bad treatment from their supervisors (Tören, 2014).…”

“…Alanyazında işverenin engelli çalışana yönelik yaklaşım ve tutumunu incelenen araştırmaların genellikle işverenler ile yapıldığı görülmektedir. Araştırmalarda işverenlerin engelli bireylerin iş görebilme düzeyleri ile ilgili olarak olumlu tutuma sahip olduklarını görülür (Aile Çalışma ve Sosyal Politikalar Bakanlığı, 2011;Greenan, Wu ve Black, 2002;Petty ve Fussell, 1992). Ayrıca alanyazında engelli kadın çalışanlara yönelik yapılan bir araştırmada çalışan engelli kadınların genelinin üstleriyle ilgili olarak kötü bir muameleye maruz kalmadıkları (Tören, 2014) bulguları yer almaktadır.…”
