Work environment for people with disabilities: Satisfaction and quality of life

The document examines the relationship between job satisfaction and the quality of life of people with disabilities in the Chen-Chen Population Center, located in the Moquegua region of Peru, during the year 2019. The research is based on a solid legal framework both at the national and international level, which recognizes the fundamental human rights of people with disabilities to decent work, non-discrimination and full social inclusion.

Methodologically, the study presents a rigorous non-experimental cross-sectional design, applied to an intentional sample of 99 participants with various types of disabilities residing in the town, to whom two highly reliable standardized instruments were administered to collect specific data on their levels of job satisfaction and perceived quality of life.

The results of the statistical analysis indicate the existence of a statistically significant positive correlation between job satisfaction and quality of life in this population, including constituent dimensions such as personal aspect, public policies and well-being. Likewise, significant associations were found between job satisfaction and each of these dimensions separately.

These findings powerfully emphasize the urgent need to generate more and better inclusive job opportunities for people with disabilities, to substantially strengthen public policies aimed at protecting their rights and actively promote their hiring under equitable conditions, and to guarantee in the spaces of work optimal conditions of comprehensive well-being that allow their full participation and personal and social development.
