| description | Studies related to job satisfaction among employees with Blind and Visual Impairments (BVI) had been
given less attention by researchers either locally or internationally. The objectives of this study were to
investigate how employees with BVI perceived their job satisfaction, examine factors that lead to job
satisfaction and causes of job dissatisfaction. A total of 12 respondents working in public sector, semigovernment,
private and NGO in the Klang Valley took part in this qualitative study. The data
collected were through semi-structure and phone interview. Overall, the results demonstrated that BVI
employees generally satisfied with their work. The research finding also indicated that factors which
could lead to job satisfaction were relationships with colleagues, salary, benefits, recognition, physical
conditions at work place, and working conditions within the company., Finally, the study found that
causes of job dissatisfaction include feeling lonely and isolated; the management likes to see their
disability rather than their abilities, no promotion opportunities, co-workers felt that they just need a job
and salary, and no training is given. (Abstract by author) |
