A QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS: WHY PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES ARE NOT HIRED FOR EXECUTIVE SEATS ON JOB

Abstract

About 15% of people worldwide are disabled, and the majority of them work in low-paying, entry-level positions or are unemployed. An examination of the literature reveals that little effort is made to determine the reasons why these individuals are not hired for executive positions. In order to discover gaps on the part of businesses and people with disabilities and to attempt to close these gaps, the goal of this study is to determine the reasons why organizations do not choose such individuals for executive positions. The results indicate that employers have a poor opinion of people with disabilities' talents, and people with disabilities lack confidence in themselves, which prevents them from obtaining executive positions. This study suggests more research on impairments in the workplace and assists executives in identifying the main obstacles that people with disabilities face while trying to obtain executive positions.
