Employers are primary and necessary agents in the return of people with disabilities to the work force. In this study, employment attitudes about two key constructs for vocational rehabilitation are examined: hiring the person with a disability and accommodating the person with disabilities at work. One hundred employers from Beijing, Hong Kong, and Chicago were surveyed regarding their attitudes. Results showed employers from Beijing were less likely to endorse hiring people with disabilities compared with those from Chicago and Hong Kong. In addition, people with psychiatric disabilities were less likely to be hired compared with those with physical disabilities. No clear pattern by city emerged for accommodations. Reasons why this pattern of attitudes emerged are discussed. Implications of these findings for attitude change are also considered.
雇主是残疾人重返劳动力队伍的主要且必要的推动者。在本研究中，考察了雇主对于职业康复两个关键要素的就业态度：雇佣残疾人和在工作中为残疾人提供便利。对来自北京、香港和芝加哥的100名雇主进行了关于其态度的调查。结果显示，与芝加哥和香港的雇主相比，北京的雇主不太可能认可雇佣残疾人。此外，与身体残疾的人相比，精神残疾的人被雇佣的可能性更小。在工作便利方面，未出现明显的城市差异模式。讨论了出现这种态度模式的原因。还考虑了这些研究结果对态度转变的影响。
