Wang, P.P., Badley, E.M., & Gignac, M.A. (2004). Perceived need for workplace accommodation and labor-force participation in Canadian adults with activity limitations. American Journal of Public Health, 94 (9): 1515-1518.
Abstract
Paper examines how perceived need for workplace accommodation affects labor-force participation in people with disabilities. Authors analyzed a Canadian survey with structural equation modeling to test a model incorporating activity limitations and perceived need for workplace accommodations. The results suggested tht the effect of upper- and lower-body activity limitation on labor force participation was mediated by perceived need for workplace accommodations. Thus, the provision of adequate workplace accommodations could enhance labor-force participation in people with disabilities.
