Abstract

This paper is a literature review of several literature on disability, diversity,

human resource/human resource management, and hiring in the

workplace/organization. The research question is how can employers

improve and increase hiring of individuals with disabilities in their

organizations? The objectives of this literature review paper are 1. Research

and analyze existing literature on disability, diversity, and workplace hiring,

2. Identify any limitations in gaps in research literature, and 3. Propose and

suggest areas and topics for future research. Each of the academic sources

in this paper are presented and discussed along with analysis. Additionally,

recommendations on how to best help individuals with disabilities in the

hiring and job application/preparation process are also presented and

discussed. This literature review provides a foundational and fundamental

understanding about disability, diversity, and hiring in the workplace and

can help researchers understand those items and further their research, help

individuals with disabilities to better prepare for jobs and applications, and

help employers to better understand and support individuals with

disabilities for job and career applications and navigating the job search and

application process.
