장애인고용에 관한 고용 관계자의 인식 유형 연구

Abstract

This study differentiates itself from previous research on the employment of individuals with disabilities, which typically approaches the factors affecting disability employment by dividing them into institutional and negative attitude factors. Instead, this study comprehensively considers both institutional and attitudinal aspects, using Q methodology to categorize and analyze the perceptions of employment-related personnel in companies regarding the employment of individuals with disabilities. The analysis revealed four distinct types of perceptions: Type 1, the economic disability employment type; Type 2, the proactive disability employment type; Type 3, the avoidment disability employment type; and Type 4, the compassionate disability employment type. Type 2 exhibited a positive attitude toward individuals with disabilities, while Types 1, 3, and 4 showed negative perceptions regarding the work performance and organizational life of individuals with disabilities. Nevertheless, it was found that these types still have an attitude of employing individuals with disabilities to gain economic benefits such as subsidies and support, comply with the minimum legal employment quota, or fulfill social responsibility. Therefore, in order to expand disability employment in the future, it is necessary to consider not only improving negative perceptions but also the institutional aspects simultaneously.
