Abstract

This manuscript challenges conventional workplace norms in tourism that continue to marginalise people with disability. Grounded in emancipatory and social justice perspectives, we apply a visual-based participatory method to critically explore how people with disability understand thriving and what enables them to thrive in the tourism workforce. Findings reveal that vitality, learning and dignity are three key dimensions of thriving at work. Contextual determinants, including the genuine engagement of supervisors, are critical in activating the capabilities of people with disability, enhancing their potential to thrive in the workplace. A conceptual model is presented, articulating the underlying determinants of thriving for workers with disability in tourism. Future research should critically explore alternative solutions that normalise disability as part of workplace diversity.

旅游业为残障人士提供蓬勃发展

这份手稿挑战了旅游业中继续将残疾人边缘化的传统工作场所规范。基于解放和社会正义的观点，我们采用基于视觉的参与式方法，批判性地探索残疾人如何理解繁荣，以及是什么使他们能够在旅游业中茁壮成长。调查结果显示，活力、学识和尊严是职场成功的三个关键方面。环境决定因素，包括主管的真正参与，对于激活残疾人的能力，增强他们在工作场所茁壮成长的潜力至关重要。提出了一个概念模型，阐明了旅游业中残疾工人蓬勃发展的潜在决定因素。未来的研究应该批判性地探索其他解决方案，使残疾成为工作场所多样性的一部分。

期刊介绍： The Annals of Tourism Research is a scholarly journal that focuses on academic perspectives related to tourism. The journal defines tourism as a global economic activity that involves travel behavior, management and marketing activities of service industries catering to consumer demand, the effects of tourism on communities, and policy and governance at local, national, and international levels. While the journal aims to strike a balance between theory and application, its primary focus is on developing theoretical constructs that bridge the gap between business and the social and behavioral sciences. The disciplinary areas covered in the journal include, but are not limited to, service industries management, marketing science, consumer marketing, decision-making and behavior, business ethics, economics and forecasting, environment, geography and development, education and knowledge development, political science and administration, consumer-focused psychology, and anthropology and sociology.
