Temporary Work, Underemployment and Workplace Accommodations: Relationship to Well‐being for Workers with Disabilities
利用加拿大2006年参与与活动限制调查数据,研究发现充分就业的正式员工比临时工或就业不足的正式员工生活满意度更高、感知到的残疾歧视更少,而工作场所便利能提升所有残疾劳动者的福祉并缓解临时工和就业不足的负面影响。
This study examines whether employment status and workplace accommodations are associated with perceived well‐being among workers with disabilities. Data from the 2006 P articipation and A ctivity L imitation S urvey conducted by S tatistics C anada were used to test the relationship between employment status, receipt of workplace accommodations and well‐being. Findings indicated that fully utilized permanent employees showed greater life satisfaction and less perceived disability‐related discrimination than either temporary workers or permanent workers who were underemployed. These findings support the theory that inadequate employment is associated with deleterious effects on employee well‐being due to inferior need fulfilment and reduced social status. Workplace accommodations were associated with higher levels of well‐being for all workers with disabilities and helped to mitigate the negative effects of temporary status and underemployment. These findings supported the theoretical extension of main effect and buffering models of workplace stress to the prediction of perceived workplace discrimination.
