An Examination of Barriers and Facilitators of Job Satisfaction and Job Tenure Among Persons With Disability in South Korea

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to investigate the barriers and facilitators of job tenure among persons with disabilities (PWD), using the theory of work adjustment, which explains that the correspondence between person and environment predicts job satisfaction and consequently job tenure. This study utilized the ninth Panel Survey of Employment for the Disabled (PSED) data set compiled from 1,755 employees with disabilities in South Korea in 2016. The results show that education-level match and aptitude match are associated with job satisfaction, whereas the effect of job–skill match on job satisfaction was not significant. Job discrimination experience and accessible work facilities were significantly related to job satisfaction, which is a significant predictor of job tenure.

Sustainable Employment for People with Disabilities: A Scoping Review on Workplace Practices and Positive Employment Outcomes

“…In the following, we give an overview of the main findings related to positive employment outcomes within each outcome category. (Bartram et al 2021;Blonk et al 2020;Carrier 2007;Cavanagh et al 2021;Meacham et al 2017a;Meacham et al 2017b;Miller et al 2014;Trezzini et al 2021) and 10 are quantitative (Eissenstat, Lee & Hong 2022;Filary & Pernice 2006;Flores et al 2021;Gray, Morgan & Hollingsworth. 2014;Lyubykh et al 2020;Novak & Rogan 2010;Sanclemente et al 2022;Tuan et al 2021;Zhu et al 2019;Schur et al 2009).…”

“…The studies reveal that 'being backed up' by supportive and helpful stakeholders in the organization, and having needs met in terms of accessibility and flexibility at the worksite, are prerequisites for positive employment experiences of PWD (Bartram et al 2021;Gray, Morgan & Hollingsworth 2014;Miller et al 2014). In their analysis of the South Korean Panel Survey of Employment for the Disabled (n = 1755), Eissenstat, Lee and Hong (2022) found a strong association between accessible work facilities and job satisfaction. Based on this finding, they suggested that future career interventions for PWD must focus on individuals' disability-related specific needs.…”

Barriers to Work, Psychosocial Resources, and Work-Family Balance: Exploring Lived Experiences of Persons with Disabilities in Ghana

“…Studies focusing on employment outcomes suggest that PWD have fewer promotion opportunities, are more likely to suffer unfair termination, and report lower job satisfaction and high turnover (Graham et al 2019; Schur et al 2009). Based on data from South Korea, Eissenstat et al (2022) found that a disability-friendly environment was a facilitator of job satisfaction whereas job discrimination was a barrier to job satisfaction among PWD.…”
