The article examines the link between workplace disability (WD) and workplace job satisfaction (JS) using data from WERS2011. Controlling for a rich set of workplace characteristics including organisational culture, the study finds a significant negative relationship between JS and the share of disabled respondents within workplaces. Notably, Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR)-based analysis distinguishing between disabled and non-disabled respondents reveals that the negative relationship found is specific to non-disabled respondents. Moreover, disability equality policies are found to be significantly positively related with disabled respondents’ JS while they are negatively related with the JS of their non-disabled counterparts. The article ponders if there is a co-worker aspect to the WD–JS link and whether HR policies may need to take heed of co-worker dynamics in this respect.

本文使用WERS2011的数据研究了工作场所残疾（WD）和工作场所工作满意度（JS）之间的联系。通过控制一系列丰富的工作场所特征（包括组织文化），该研究发现JS与工作场所中残疾受访者的比例之间存在显着的负相关关系。值得注意的是，基于看似无关的回归（SUR）的分析区分了残疾人和非残疾人受访者，发现发现的负相关关系特定于非残疾人受访者。此外，发现残疾人平等政策与残疾人受访者的JS有显着正相关，而与非残疾人同行的JS有负相关。
