Organizational Climate, Job Embeddedness, Disabled Employee, Person with DisabilityAbstract
Issues regarding persons with disability (PWD) at workplace have become an endless argument. PWD faced difficulties at their workplaces after struggling to get the job. They faced with problems that could not make them work longer. This paper examines the relationship between organizational climate and their job embeddedness. It reveals that disabled employees must be supported by an appropriate organizational climate to ensure their embeddedness with the company. The findings can be used in the creation of a better organizational climate specially prepared for the disabled employees as part of the company’s responsibilities as the PWD have their rights in receiving the same treatment as received by other normal employees.
