“…These studies found larger, public‐sector, unionized, and service organizations were associated with increased employment of persons with disabilities. These types of organizations were also associated with positive responses toward persons with disabilities, such as changing work systems, providing accommodations, and providing special training (Bruyère et al, ; Dong, Oire, MacDonald‐Wilson, & Fabian, ; Goss et al, ; Harcourt et al, ; Hernandez et al, ; Houtenville & Kalargyrou, ; Lee, ; Morgan & Alexander, ; Richards & Sang, ; Woodhams & Corby, ). Goss et al () suggested that the organizational size is a proxy for having specialized HR managers who can learn about best practices in disability management through professional associations, which can encourage them to develop better practices for disability employment.…”

Human resource practitioners play a crucial role in promoting equitable treatment of persons with disabilities, and practitioner's decisions should be guided by solid evidence‐based research. We offer a systematic review of the empirical research on the treatment of persons with disabilities in organizations, using Stone and Colella's seminal theoretical model of the factors influencing the treatment of persons with disabilities in work organizations, to ask: What does the available research reveal about workplace treatment of persons with disabilities, and what remains understudied? Our review of 88 empirical studies from management, rehabilitation, psychology, and sociology research highlights seven gaps and limitations in extant research: (a) implicit definitions of workplace treatment; (b) neglect of national context variation; (c) missing differentiation between disability populations; (d) overreliance on available data sets; (e) predominance of single‐source, cross‐sectional data; (f) neglect of individual differences and identities in the presence of disability; and (g) lack of specificity on underlying stigma processes. To support the development of more inclusive workplaces, we recommend increased research collaborations between human resource researchers and practitioners on the study of specific disabilities and contexts, and efforts to define and expand notions of treatment to capture more nuanced outcomes.

“…The respondents with physical disabilities confirmed these positive attitudes and reported they felt supported by both colleagues and employers. When employers and colleagues had previous involvement with people with physical disabilities, they were more likely to hire and integrate workers with disabilities (Hernandez et al 2012). When employers have positive attitudes towards employees with physical disabilities they are more likely to support them to achieve their career goals (Hashim and Saodah 2014), which may lead to career advancement (Schroedel and Geyer 2001).…”

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.

“…Understanding and application through development action mean that all workers understand that diversity serves to create an inclusive work environment. Integrated means that leader and employee have knowledge and skill concerning how to improve company's performance through managing worker diversity effectively toward workplace inclusion and sustainability, in which diversity maturity and highest inclusion are achieved when all employees show off inclusive behavior consistently and consciously or when company has felt the benefit of workplace inclusion (CLC Human Resources, 2012;Hernandez et al, 2012;Hudson Jr, 2014). Sapto Nugroho as the Director of Yayasan Talenta Surakarta argued that:…”

People with disabilities are often labeled negatively and treated discriminatively within community, including in workplace, so that only a few of them are absorbed in either formal or informal job. Meanwhile, they are entitled to get productive and reasonable job in order to realize their aspiration, to improve their life condition, and to participate actively within community. This article studies the workers with disabilities’ access to workplace inclusion in Postmodern Model Perspective in Surakarta. Accidental sampling was used to select informant; data collection was carried out through observation, in-depth interview, and document. Data validation was carried out using method and data source triangulations. The result of research showed that the access of the workers with disabilities to workplace inclusion has not been optimal yet, because the opportunity was still more limited compared with that for their non-disabled counterparts. Although inclusive work environment has diverse potential human resources and the workers with disabilities’ perspective, creativity, innovation, and problem solving ability have not been utilized maximally. In the construction process, workers with disabilities should actively participate in planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation so that the guarantee of workers with disabilities’ accessibility to building, transportation and communication media, workplace inclusion and many facilities can be met. The improvement of accessibility in the term of independency, rehabilitation, and social grant, and the maintenance of social wellbeing level and equal right to grow and to develop people with disabilities’ talent, ability, and social life are important to develop workplace inclusion. Prioritizing and respecting pluralism, equity, dignity, and active public participation simultaneously and sustainably will lead to the realization of inclusive society.
