Accessibility of the Recruitment and Labor Distribution Process by PT Disabilitas Kerja Indonesia towards Increasing Employment Opportunities for People with Disabilities

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of recruitment process accessibility and workforce distribution on increasing employment opportunities for persons with disabilities through a study at PT Disabilitas Kerja Indonesia (DKI). The background of this study is based on the low participation of people with disabilities in the workforce due to structural barriers, limited facilities, and the lack of implementation of inclusive employment policies. Theoretically, this study refers to the concept of inclusive human resource management, which emphasizes the importance of a fair, equitable, and diversity- oriented recruitment system. This study uses a quantitative approach with a descriptive-verificative method. A sample of 136 respondents was obtained through purposive sampling, and the data was analyzed using simple linear regression. The results show that recruitment accessibility and labor placement have a positive and significant effect on increasing employment opportunities for persons with disabilities, with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 46.8%. This finding reinforces the strategic role of PT DKI as a liaison between people with disabilities and the industrial world through training, job placement, and ongoing assistance. Practically, these research results support the implementation of Law Number 8 of 2016 concerning Persons with Disabilities and the principle of decent work for all in SDG 8, as well as contributing to the development of inclusive, fair, and sustainable employment policies in Indonesia
