Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 16
Abstract
This paper examines the role of online hiring of people with disabilities through identifying the distinct features and its efficacy in hiring people with disabilities in the Hospitality industry and to discover the links and relationships of the National Council on Disability Affairs (NCDA) (government) and Unilab Foundation (CSR) in addressing the unemployment issues of people with disabilities in the Philippine Hospitality industry. An exploratory, qualitative study methodology was implemented for the study. Purposively sampled establishments namely Unilab Foundation, Inc. and NCDA provided the study setting. Data was collected through face-to-face semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis was conducted to identify the themes according to coded extracts. Based on the results, the researchers discovered that online hiring as an ICT innovation in addressing unemployment issues of people with disabilities provides an equal platform in the hiring process and encourages business employers that people with disabilities could effectively contribute to the workplace. This paper can be used as a basis for future studies and advocacies in the employment of people with disabilities in all industries, specifically to the Hospitality industry.
