The technological transition currently taking place in the labor market is having severe implications for people. One vulnerable group at risk of marketplace exclusion are employees with disabilities. This research explores their job motivation, including the moderated effect of self-efficacy. A 187 employees from Special Employment Centers (SECs) in Spain with intellectual and physical disabilities completed the Internal Motivation Scale, the Psychological Critical States (PCS) and the self-efficacy sub-scale of the Psychological Processes Scale (PPS) tests. Following the International Tests Commission guidelines, the instruments were adapted to the special needs of the participants. We found differences depending on the kind of disability of employees. In employees with intellectual disabilities, their levels of self-efficacy moderated the effect of responsibility for outcomes and meaningfulness of work on motivation. In the case of employees with physical disabilities, the knowledge of results is a predictor of motivation when they had medium or high levels of self-efficacy. Additionally, in this group, responsibility for outcomes and meaningfulness of work had a direct effect on motivation, independently of their levels of self-efficacy. Employees with disabilities should be empowered to make choices and exercise control in their working lives. To do so, human resources managers should promote their wellbeing, taking into consideration the workforce diversity.
当前劳动力市场正在发生的技术转型对人们产生了严重的影响。一个面临市场排斥风险的弱势群体是残疾员工。本研究探讨了他们的工作动机，包括自我效能感的调节作用。来自西班牙特殊就业中心（SEC）的 187 名智力和身体残疾员工完成了内部动机量表、心理关键状态量表（PCS）和心理过程量表（PPS）的自我效能分量表测试。根据国际测试委员会的指导方针，对这些工具进行了适应参与者特殊需求的调整。我们发现了员工残疾类型的差异。在智力残疾员工中，自我效能感水平调节了工作结果责任和工作意义对动机的影响。在身体残疾员工的情况下，当他们具有中等或高水平的自我效能感时，结果知识是动机的预测指标。此外，在这一组中，工作结果责任和工作意义对动机有直接影响，而与自我效能感水平无关。残疾员工应该被赋予权力，在他们的工作生活中做出选择并行使控制权。为此，人力资源经理应该促进他们的幸福感，同时考虑到劳动力多样性。
