Evaluation of the employment and integration strategies of persons with disabilities in Limpopo Department of Agriculture.Komana, Sekepe Michael January 2006 (has links)
Thesis (MPA) --University of Limpopo, 2006 / Introduction: Discrimination against people with disabilities is evident in the
social and economic environment. The categories of disabilities that are mostly
affected by discrimination are physical, visual, hearing and mental impairment.
Aim: The study was aimed at evaluating the employment and integration
strategies of persons with disabilities in the Limpopo Department of
Agriculture. This was done by evaluating the recruitment and employment
methods of persons with disabilities; investigating the level of participation of
persons with disabilities in the departmental activities and by evaluating the accessibility of the work environment.
Method: The study was a descriptive, quantitative survey design. It described
the perceptions of top management and senior management officials on the
integration and employment of persons with disabilities into the mainstream of
government activities. It described the available integration strategies and
policies in the department as well as the physically accessible structures and
environment to persons with disabilities. Out of a total of 33 senior managers
that were surveyed in this study, only 18 responded.
Results: The study revealed negative attitudes and perceptions in the
department towards people with disabilities. Persons with physical impairment seem to be the most easily employed at a higher rate than other categories such as the visually impaired and the deaf, this was mainly influenced by the accessibility of adverts. On the other hand, a significant measure appeared to
be in place to redress the imbalances in terms of gender.
Conclusion: There was a general agreement that the method of recruitment
was discriminatory against visual and hearing-impaired people, and therefore
Managers must spearhead transformation and equity in their respective
branches/sub- branches.

An investigation of the potential role of physically challenged persons in constructionTshobotlwane, David Modisaotsile January 2005 (has links)
Thesis (MTech (Construction Management))--Cape Penninsula University of Technology, 2005 / The construction industry contributes to the economy in terms of its labour
intensive nature and status as a major employer of labour in many countries. This pivotal
role is divided by its unappealing status ofbeing an industrial sector with the lowest level
of employment of disabled persons. Despite the South African government's efforts to
diversifY the industry's labour force, these have had little concrete effect on changing the
demographics of construction especially relative to the representation of minority groups
such as women and disabled persons.
The industry presents both a challenging and hostile environment and attitudinal
barrier for persons with disabilities. They have not been seen as part of the pool of people
considered for employment, and when already employed, possible promotion. To change
this negative image, conscious measures are necessary to remove barriers. These
measures should include a change in leadership style and approach, fundamental change
in culture, change in the negative image of the working environment, and full
implementation of equal opportunity policies. This paper reports on the employment
status of disabled persons within the construction industry. To achieve this, the
qualitative methodology was adopted and included surveys, self-administered
questionnaires and interviews as well as the quantitative methodology to validate the
completeness of data
