Results: The perceived benefits of having workers with disabilities in the workforce was found to be the strongest predictor for positive attitude toward working with people with disabilities, followed by good health mission and do good expectations. Conclusions: The findings of this study will contribute to developing effective interventions to enhance employee's positive attitude toward working with people with disabilities. (As Provided).
