INTRODUCTION

Work and employment play a central role in people’s lives and are essential

factor in social inclusion and well-being. People nowadays needed a specific job in order

to fulfill their dreams or in order to live too. Without a job, you can’t support your family

neither yourself. Through working you can have the money for your necessities,

expenses and other things that you need in your life. There is nothing more valuable

than earning something of your own and that is through working. Having a job is like

having a purpose in your life.

The researcher came up with the study because there are many persons with

disabilities who don’t have a specific job. Some are idle the whole day. Luckily, some of

them have job but it’s just a 2-year contract work unlike the persons without disabilities

who are given a chance to work for 3 to 5 years or more. This kind of treatment makes

them lose hope and get discouraged to survive.

The main purpose of the study was to know and to discover all the possible

reasons of the bakery owners in terms of hiring person with disabilities as their worker

in a bakery. The researchers became interested on how the bakery owners handled

those persons as their worker. The researchers wanted to know what kind of assigned

tasks and treatment they would offer to their workers.

Generally, this study aimed to determine the possibility of persons with

disabilities to be hired in bakeries at Lemery, Taal and Alitagtag Batangas.

 2

Specifically, this study aimed to:

1. determine the reasons for hiring or not hiring PWD’s

2. identify the assigned task/s to be given by the bakery owners to

PWD’s

The study focused on the possibilities of person with disabilities to be hired as

workers by bakery owners for their bakery shop. The data were gathered by conducting

a survey to the bakery owners.

The bakery owners were the respondents of the study. The study will be

conducted in 30 bakeries located at Lemery, Taal and Alitagtag Batangas from February

to March 2018.

This study is significant to the following:

a) For persons with disabilities

The results of the study may serve as an inspiration for them to

be stronger and determined to work although they have certain

disabilities. This will be their guide not to lose hope but to persevere. It

will help them to be more motivated in pursuing their dreams and to

stand on their own in facing challenges in life knowing that the person

with disabilities can be hired, it will increase their self-esteem and

confidence in interacting with other people.

 3

b) For the bakery owners

The results of the study will provide them information that the

person with disabilities have the skills and capabilities in doing job that

are assigned to them.

c) For the community

The results of the study will be a great benefit in the

development of the society and giving opportunities to persons with

disabilities to work as an individual. It will also decrease the number of

unemployed persons in the community.

d) For the researchers

This study will enhance their knowledge and abilities in terms of

hiring trustworthy workers in small businesses because they might have a

small business in the near future. It will also help them to be more

resourceful in finding solution to problems and to be more rational in

making decisions in life. The findings of the research will teach them to

treat the people in their surroundings fairly and equally.

e) For future researchers

The results of the study will serve as a reference or source,

especially when the research has a connection about person with

disabilities in small businesses and establishments.

 4

The following were the assumptions of the study:

1. Owners of the bakeries would not hire person with disabilities as their

workers.

2. Hiring of person with disabilities decreases the number of unemployed

person in the community.

3. There are persons with disabilities who can work in bakeries just like

normal people usually do.

4. The type of disability of the person affects the work or task that will be

given to them.

5. The bakery owner’s attitude affects their worker’s performance.

The purpose of this study was to know and to discover the reasons that affect

the hiring of PWD’s as workers in their bakery business. To achieve this objective, the

researchers came up with a conceptual framework that served as a guide while

conducting the study.

The researchers used the input-process-output model. The input is composed of

the profile variables of the bakery owners which included their age, sex and years of

having a bakery business.

To gather the input data, the researcher used a self-constructed survey

questionnaire. Raw data were collected in processing the information to be used.

Through the information gathered, the researchers will came up with their conclusion in

identifying the factors that affects the possibilities of bakery owners to hire persons with

disabilities as their workers.

For better understanding of the definition of terms used in the study, the following

were defined:

Bakery- a place of baking or selling baked goods

Disabled Person- incapacitated by illness or injury and physically or mentally

impaired

Unemployed- not being used and having no job

Unemployment- lack of employment, money paid at regular intervals to an

unemployed

Worker- a person who works for wages

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Australian Disability Enterprises provided real and meaningful employment for

people with disability. There were around 20,000 people with disability working in more

than 600 Australian Disability Enterprises Australia-wide. Australian Disability Enterprises

are businesses enabling people with disability to work in a range of industries – from

design, printing and packaging, to manufacturing, laundry and landscaping. Employees

enjoy the same working conditions as those in the general workforce. Disability

Employment Services (DES) delivered employment assistance for job seekers with

disability. DES is delivered by a network of organizations around Australia. These

organizations played a specialist role in helping people with disability, injury or health

condition get ready to look for a job, find a job and keep a job. They offered a range of

supports to meet individual needs.

Diversity in Disability (Molloy et al, 2003), a follow-on qualitative study from the

2002 UK Survey, Disabled for Life, involved 103 people with disabilities. Participants in

the study believed that progress had been made in society and that opportunities for

people with disabilities had substantially increased. They described a range of life

experiences and attitudes. They considered that negative attitudes to disability can lead

to low self-esteem, restricted opportunities for people with disabilities to fully participate

in key areas of life and ongoing adverse effects on the physical and mental health of

people with disabilities.

A study, commissioned by the Department for Work and Pensions (Waddel &

Burton, 2006) in Scotland, said that having a work has positive effects in the physical

and mental health and well-being of an individual like improving the functions of our
 7

brain continuously developing our mind on the things that surrounds us. Worklessness

on the contrary is associated with poorer physical and mental health and lower well-

being. Work can also be therapeutic and can reverse the adverse health effects of

unemployment. That is true for healthy people of working age, for many disabled

people, for most people with common health problems and for social security

beneficiaries.

Hansen, Andreassen, and Meager (2011, p. 120), stated that in Norway as well

as the rest of Europe for the last two decades been a focus on making “work the first

choice” and “making work pay” for people with disabilities in order to make them more

employable. In order to see a society as good or well-functioning it should recognize

diversity and paid work is very much important to empower people with disabilities that

want to work and furthermore give them responsibility for their own welfare (Värlander,

2012).

Saunders and Nedelec (2014) stated that having a job was shown to mean not

only that persons with disabilities receive pay for work that they do, it was believed to

be a “natural part of life, source of identity, feelings of normality and self-esteem and

worth.”

According to “Core Principles of the Rights-Outcome Lens” the Ontario Human

Rights Code, case law, policy documents, and the Convention on the Rights of Persons

with Disabilities (CPRD), the Law Commission of Ontario preliminarily adopted the

following six principles as the focus of its examination of the Law as it Affects Persons

with Disabilities: respect for the dignity and worth of persons with disabilities, autonomy

and independence, inclusion and participation, equality and non-discrimination,

 8

recognition that humans vary infinitely along a spectrum of abilities and that society

must accommodate these variances into its mainstream and respect for the diversity

among persons with disabilities in the experience of disability.

Kirsch et al., 2009, Lysaght et al., 2012, Shaw et al., 2012 stated that despite

the knowledge on accommodation strategies, access to training programs, and human

rights legislation, many persons with disabilities remain marginalized from equitable

participation in productive work and accessing a living wage in the open labor market.

Potential barriers associated with the work disparities faced by persons with disabilities

create occupational imbalances and discrimination.

The Theory of Planned Behavior stated that the extant literature suggests that

disabled people face employment problems is largely due to employers’ negative

attitudes toward disabled people which can translate into low intention to hire disabled

workers. Using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), this proposed a model to address

the question: “What are the factors that can potentially influence managerial intention to

hire disabled people within the Malaysian setting?” The factors of interest were employer

attributes, organizational characteristics, Malaysia’s Persons with Disabilities (PWD) Act

2008, attitudes towards hiring disabled people, subjective norm, and perceived control

in hiring disabled people. While not claiming to be comprehensive, this serves to provide

an integrative framework for future empirical work to test the appropriateness of the

TPB in understanding managerial intention to hire disabled people. Enhanced knowledge

in this area will help in the development of public and organizational policies that can

better promote and manage the careers of disabled people.

METHODOLOGY

Qualitative research was used in the study. The researchers employed the

descriptive method of research because it focuses on the possible reasons and factors

that affect the hiring of persons with disabilities of bakery owners in their bakeries. The

primary purpose of the study was to determine the possibility of persons with disabilities

to be hired at Lemery, Taal and Alitagtag, Batangas.

The sample of the present study consisted of thirty (30) bakeries that were

selected from 3 places: ten (10) bakeries located in Lemery, ten (10) bakeries located in

Taal and ten (10) bakeries located in Alitagtag, Batangas. The bakery owners were

chosen as the respondents in the study since they are knowledgeable about the

operation of the business.

Survey questions were prepared. Information from articles, journals and own

ideas were the sources of survey questions prepared by the researchers. The

questionnaire is a combination type consisting of three types of questions: yes or no

type, subjective type and recognition type.

The questionnaire was validated by Mrs. Sherlyn N. Catanan, an expert in bakery

business. Using content validity, the feasibility of the study was checked and verified.

After validation, the survey questionnaire was distributed and collected to and from the

respondents who were chosen randomly.

Data were tabulated and analyzed. The statistical tests used were frequency and

percentage distribution to determine if there were high or low chance of possibilities of

persons with disabilities to be hired as workers in Lemery, Taal and Alitagtag, Batangas.

of bakery owners are females and the rest of them are males with 23.33%. Generally,

there are 11 bakery owners who run the business for more than six years, 12 bakery

owners run the business for 1-3 years and 7 of them run it for 4-6 years with the total

of 30 bakery owners.

Other bakery owners believed that persons with disabilities cannot work well and they

lack of knowledge about baking pastries, cleaning equipment that were used in baking

and being a cashier or vendor in the bakery.

The results show that many bakery owners believed that the persons with

disabilities cannot work well or have poor performance in the bakery is because of the

attitude of the co-workers toward the persons with disabilities as workers.

will allow persons with disabilities to work overtime and give them extra pay. They

believed that those persons with disabilities that are determined, industrious, faithful or

loyal and has the skill or capability to do works that are assigned to them are the one

who deserve rewards and right treatments.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Generally, the study focused on determining the possibilities of persons with

disabilities that can be hired by the bakery owners. The respondents were defined in

terms of age, gender, the number of years in the business and the workers they

supervised. The study used the survey method of qualitative research design and aimed

to discuss the opinions of the bakery owners, attitude and behaviors of persons with

disabilities with the use of questionnaire.

The study considered ten (10) respondents each from Lemery, Taal and

Alitagtag, Batangas for a total of thirty (30) respondents. Ten (10) bakery owners from

each town were asked to participate in the study. Questionnaires were distributed by

the researchers and the data were analyzed and interpreted using various statistical

tools: frequency and percentage.

Based on the data gathered, almost all the respondents are willing to hire

persons with disabilities with the percentage of 63.33, followed by the respondents who

are not willing to hire persons with disabilities with the percentage of 36.67.

The type of disability that the respondents preferred are the person who are

mute and the task or job that the respondents would like to assign to the person with

disabilities is their assistant in cleaning the equipment that were used in baking ang also

the place of the bakery.

It can be concluded that there is a high possibility that bakery owners would hire

persons with disabilities as their workers in the bakeries located at Lemery, Taal, and
 17

Alitagtag, Batangas. It can be also concluded that the attitude of co-workers affected

the persons with disabilities’ performance.

Based on the findings and conclusions, the researchers came up with the

following recommendations:

1. conduct the study in another place or locale

2. add more factors such as educational background of the PWDs, physical and

communication barriers and workplace policies of the bakery owners in terms

of hiring persons with disabilities as workers in bakeries

3. do the same research with a larger population to yield more accurate and

precise results.
