Description

The main objective of this study was to examine general and employability attitudes toward people with disabilities (PWDs) held by Taiwanese business graduate students (MBA) who were regarded as the potential and next generation of business representatives. Understanding Taiwanese MBA students' attitudes toward PWDs helped related vocational rehabilitation professionals to obtain a better understanding of how Taiwanese business graduate students were trained and educated in their employment and educational settings regarding PWDs. In addition, conducting this study allowed relevant specialists to examine Taiwanese business graduate students' future employment decisions regarding job applicants with disabilities. The data were obtained from 116 Taiwanese business graduate students. The findings of the study demonstrated that the research participants' general and employability attitudes toward PWDs were both positive. However, the results also indicated that Taiwanese business graduate students received limited disability knowledge from their curricula or the workplace. This study presented valuable and rich information for Taiwanese vocational rehabilitation professionals who provide related services for PWDs. Finally, recommendations for future practice and research were discussed in further detail.
