Planned Behavior Case Study

742 Words3 Pages

FRAMEWORK This research is based on the theory of planned behavior, which talks about the employer’s perception towards hiring the disabled workers (Jasper, & Waldhart, 2013). The key variables that will be utilized in this study are the manager’s or employer’s perception and the rate of hiring of disabled employees. In this case, the employer’s perception is the independent variable while the hiring of disabled employees is the dependent variable. From the planned behavior theory, it was evident that employers have a negative attitude towards hiring the disabled individuals and those organizations with a large number of employees are the ones willing to hire the disabled workers. The assumption that was drawn from this theory is that there is a discriminatory perception towards hiring individuals with disabilities in most organizations. Additionally, discrimination against disabled employees is something that has been in existence for the past decades (Leonard, & Trusty, 2015). This discrimination occurs when a covered employer or other entity treats an applicant or employee less favorably because he/she has a history of a disability. Despite laws discouraging discrimination, employees or job applicants with various disabilities are still isolated and discrimination is practiced …show more content…

Through all this work, Justin Dart came to the conclusion that the judgement towards disabled people created a toxic relationship disabled and abled individuals and decided to end this. In his explanation for why the ADA was so significant for the disabled, Justin said “It will proclaim to America and to the world that people with disabilities are fully human; that paternalistic, discriminatory, segregationist attitudes are no longer acceptable; and that henceforth people with disabilities must be accorded the same personal respect and the same social and economic opportunities as other people.” (Paragraph 7) The fact that at one point disabled individuals were treated with disrespect, really shows through this quote and emphasizes that this was a great injustice that needed to be ended. The injustice that occurred was that people with disabilities in America were treated poorly and did not have equal rights.

"The study showed that the Americans With Disabilities Act, the 1990 federal law banning discrimination against those with disabilities, appeared to reduce bias" (3-4). This quote shows that legislation and writing that point out discrimination lower the amount of discrimination.

As Baynton discusses disability as a justification for inequality, I view it in the sense of a social concept of disability that sets the platform for discrimination and violence against the minority groups. This concept has been implemented in U.S. history to allow discriminatory practices against the minorities to occur. Basically, women, individuals from different races, and ethnic minorities were labeled as disabled as well to interpret inequality as a positive concept. For example, there was justification for slavery in which African Americans did not have the required intelligence which made them incapable of equality with other Americans. This assumption was ascribed to physical causes and differences that were visible in their race.

We think it’s common sense to say hello to your neighbor, hold the door open for the person behind you, or even sit next to someone in class, but that has not always been the case. At one point in time, civil rights was not for everyone. We all remember the women suffering and the african-americans being segregated, but most forget how hard the disabled community worked to be treated as equals. By utilizing the strategies of previous civil rights movements, the American Disabilities Act (ADA) wanted to extend basic civil rights to the disabled community. It started in 1973 with Section 504 which helped people to recognize that even though there are many different variations, the disabled are a legitimate minority who are subjected to discrimination

For example one might say that a vision problem might be an obstacle if wanting to be a pilot, but “being precluded from the job of a global airline pilot was not sufficient since they could obtain other...jobs as regional pilots, or pilot instructors” (Jones 3). In both the Sutton and Murphy case the disabilities did not make the cut for impediments because they were not held for making life obstacles for more than one major life activity.
