Self-Fulfilling Prophecy on Employment Development of Individuals with Disabilities
Year: 2017
Type: article
Abstract: This article considers the factors that contribute to being employed for the individuals with disabilities (IWDs). There are two dimensions that are commonly mentioned about the factors underlying IWDs poor employment performance, one is society factor, the other is IWD’s personal physiological conditions. However, this article claims it can be viewed from an alternative perspective. The mechanism responsible for this can be explained by the self-fulfilling prophecy : with a conviction of being accepting by society and the employment market (ASE), an IWD has more opportunities to obtain a job a short time after graduation. Based on self-fulfilling prophecy effect, this article proposes implications of employment transition services for IWDs.
