Abstract

Research on persons with disabilities (PWD) has identified robust challenges faced by these individuals within the context of work. Although there are clear associations between disability status and employment outcomes, the literature on PWD suffers from two primary gaps: (1) there is currently little to no research on the comorbidity of disability characteristics and (2) the consideration of how disability status uniquely affects the ever-increasing population of older workers has been understudied. The current study takes a person-centered approach, via latent class analysis, to examine the effects of disability characteristics on employment outcomes for older workers. We present findings from a sample of 328 older workers who self-identified as having at least one of several disabilities. Results suggest that there are six different classes of older workers with disabilities defined by varying levels of comorbidity. Across these classes, we find significant differences in ratings of job satisfaction, turnover intentions, and perceptions of workplace discrimination.
老年残疾工人:以人为中心的方法来理解共病对工作结果的影响
对残疾人(PWD)的研究已经确定了这些人在工作环境中面临的严峻挑战。虽然残疾状况与就业结果之间存在明显的关联,但关于残疾的文献存在两个主要差距:(1)目前关于残疾特征共病的研究很少,甚至没有研究;(2)关于残疾状况如何独特地影响不断增加的老年工人人口的研究还不够。本研究采用以人为本的方法,通过潜在类别分析,考察残疾特征对老年工人就业结果的影响。我们对328名年龄较大的员工进行了抽样调查,这些员工自认为至少有几种残疾中的一种。结果表明,根据不同程度的合并症,有六个不同类别的老年残疾工人。在这些班级中,我们发现工作满意度评分、离职意向和对工作场所歧视的看法存在显著差异。
