Adults with disability have significantly lower rates of labor force participation relative to persons without disability, although it is unclear whether this disparity extends to subjective workplace experiences. Using data from the 2004 to 2006 wave of the National Survey of Midlife Development in the United States (n =2,030), we evaluate: (1) whether U.S. workers with physical disability report higher levels of perceived job discrimination and unequal workplace opportunities and lower levels of supervisor and coworker support and (2) whether these patterns differ by sex, age, and occupation group. We find that workers with physical disability fare significantly worse on all four outcomes net of covariates. Disability takes a particularly large toll on men’s perceived workplace opportunities and white-collar employees’ relationships with coworkers. Young adult workers (ages 30–39) with disability report significantly more support from their supervisor relative to their counterparts without disability. We discuss implications for research and policy.

工作中的身体残疾:功能限制如何影响工作场所的感知歧视和人际关系

与非残疾人相比,残疾人的劳动力参与率要低得多,尽管尚不清楚这种差异是否会扩展到主观的工作场所经历。使用 2004 年至 2006 年美国全国中年发展调查(n = 2,030)的数据,我们评估:(1)美国身体残疾工人是否报告更高水平的感知工作歧视和不平等的工作场所机会以及更低的主管和同事的支持水平以及 (2) 这些模式是否因性别、年龄和职业组而异。我们发现身体残疾的工人在所有四个结果净协变量上的表现都明显更差。残疾对男性感知的工作机会以及白领员工与同事的关系造成了特别大的影响。与没有残疾的同行相比,有残疾的年轻成年工人(30-39 岁)从他们的主管那里得到了更多的支持。我们讨论对研究和政策的影响。
