Inclusive HRM Practices and their impact on Job Satisfaction of Persons with Disabilities: Evidence from an Empirical Study

Abstract

This study utilizes Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Partial Least Squares (PLS) technique to examine the effect of HRM practices on the job satisfaction of persons with disabilities. This study intends to determine the relationship between HRM practices and job satisfaction with reference to disabled employees, acknowledging the crucial role that inclusive HRM practices play in creating a supportive work environment. Through surveys given to workers with disabilities at different companies, data were gathered. The proposed links are validated by the SEM PLS analysis, which shows a substantial positive correlation between job satisfaction and four inclusive HRM practices. The results show that while training and development and involvement practices demand coordinated efforts, inclusive recruitment and selection, compensation, performance appraisal, and working condition practices highlight their critical role in influencing how satisfied employees feel about their jobs. This study offers insightful information that HR professionals and legislators may use to develop and execute more inclusive and successful HR strategies, supporting a fairer and fulfilling work environment for people with disabilities.
