摘要：Employment among persons with disabilities remains controversial and debatable. This paper briefly explores employers’ perspectives on managing employees with disabilities in their organisations. In particular, this paper discusses experiences shared by organisations when hiring persons with disabilities. A qualitative study was utilised and semi-structured interviews were adopted as the main data collection instruments. Six employers from the private sector in service industries in Malaysia with a breadth experience in hiring PWDs were selected as participants. The discussion of the results centred on the profiles of the employers and reasons for hiring employees with disabilities in organisations. The implications of the findings for organisations, service providers, and the government are further discussed.
