abstract: 'Purpose This article presents new evidence on employment barriers and

  workplace disparities facing employees with disabilities, linking the

  disparities to employee attitudes. Methods Analyses use the 2006 General

  Social Survey to connect disability to workplace disparities and

  attitudes in a structural equation model. Results Compared to employees

  without disabilities, those with disabilities report: lower pay levels,

  job security, and flexibility; more negative treatment by management;

  and, lower job satisfaction but similar organizational commitment and

  turnover intention. The lower satisfaction is mediated by lower job

  security, less job flexibility, and more negative views of management

  and co-worker relations. Conclusion Prior research and the present

  findings show that people with disabilities experience employment

  disparities that limit their income, security, and overall quality of

  work life. Technology plays an increasingly important role in decreasing

  employment disparities. However, there also should be increased targeted

  efforts by government, employers, insurers, occupational rehabilitation

  providers, and disability groups to address workplace barriers faced by

  employees with disabilities, and by those with disabilities seeking to

  return to work.'
