| dc.description.abstract | The study is designed to investigate the practice of recruiting persons with disabilities in organizations. On the other hand, it tried to address how organizations are open for Persons with Disability. Though Organizations know diversity, it is less likely that they understood in terms of hiring and retaining PwDs. This in turn affects the employment opportunity of PwDs. Given these conditions, no research attempted to analyze the recruitment practice of Person with Disability from Organizations side. For this particular research quantitative method was employed. Primary data was collected through questionnaire and interview. The sources for data were organizations recruitment committee, HR manager or HRD worker, qualified person with disability and DPOs. As a source of secondary data proclamations on the right to employment of PwDs, convention on the rights of disability, abstracts and books were used. In conducting the study, both governmental and private organizations were randomly selected in Addis Ababa city to see their recruitment practice especially for PwDs. The other target groups are qualified persons with some form of disability in which structured interview was conducted to collect data from. In addition to this well structured questionnaire was also produced and distributed to both recruitment committees of organizations or human resource department workers and disability people organizations or activists. The descriptive analysis method was employed using percentages, mean and modes. In addition to this, correlation analysis has been used to see the relationship between the variables. The result of the study shows that even though there is recruitment policy in most of organizations the practice aspect needs to be emphasized. The recruitment strategies used by most of organizations are not diversified to attract sufficient pool of applicants, especially PwDs. To reduce problems of recruiting and hiring PwDs; Government, Employers, and DPO’s primarily shoulder the responsibilities. Key words; Disability, Recruitment Practice | en_US |
