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.
