| Resource Title | Employment opportunities of persons with disabilities (PWDs) in the University of the Philippines, Diliman: Attitude, compliance, strategies, and support system |
| Date Issued | 2024 |
| Abstract | This study investigated the employment opportunities for persons with disabilities (PWDs) at the University of the Philippines Diliman in Quezon City and the factors that influenced their employment. These factors included attitudes toward PWD workers, compliance with the Magna Carta for Persons with Disabilities, strategies for hiring individuals with disabilities, and the support systems provided for employees with disabilities. The four factors---attitude, compliance, strategies, and support systems---served as the independent variables, while employment opportunities constituted the dependent variable. To better understand these factors, the independent variables were divided into related elements. The first variable, attitudes toward PWDs, focused on perceptions and biases affecting them. The second variable, compliance with the Magna Carta, comprised one element: the organizational commitment to fulfilling the 1% employment reservation for PWDs as mandated by the Magna Carta. The third variable, strategies for hiring PWDs, included two elements: recruitment methods to attract PWD applicants and retention methods to ensure that PWD employees remained in the institution. The fourth variable, support systems, encompassed three elements: training for employees on disability-related issues, accommodations provided to employees with disabilities, and organizational policies promoting the employment of PWDs. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews using a prepared questionnaire. These interviews were conducted with selected Deans, Unit Heads, and Directors at the University of the Philippines Diliman who were responsible for recommending personnel hires. |
