Abstract

The overall objective of this research was to assess the attitudes of managers from Serbia toward employment of deaf persons. Sample is defined by the criteria of random selection of respondents, ie. 180 managers of state and private business organizations. We used Questionnaire for assess attitudes of employers towards hiring persons with disabilities. In order to determine the significance of the relationship between independent and dependent variables were used nonparametric tests (Kruskal Wallis test and Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test) and correlation coefficient. The results suggest that knowledge, social contacts or experience in working with deaf persons act positively on the attitudes of leaders in Belgrade and the interior. The direct contact allows you to learn more about the working and social skills of deaf persons and realistically evaluate their results.

Opšti cilj istraživanja je da procenimo stavove rukovodilaca radnih organizacija iz Srbije prema zapošljavanju gluvih osoba. Uzorak je definisan prema kriterijumu slučajnog izbora ispitanika tj. 180 rukovodilaca državnih i privatnih preduzeća. U istraživanju je korišćen Upitnik za procenu stavova poslodavaca prema zapošljavanju osoba sa ometenošću. U cilju utvrđivanja značajnosti odnosa između nezavisnih i zavisnih varijabli korišćeni su neparametrijski testovi (Kruskal Wallis Test i Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test) i koeficijent korelacije. Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju da poznavanje, druženje ili iskustvo u radu sa gluvim osobama deluje pozitivno na stavove rukovodilaca iz Beograda i unutrašnjosti. Neposredan kontakt omogućava da se bolje upoznaju radne i socijalne sposobnosti gluvih osoba i realnije vrednuju njihovi rezultati.
