Impact of “Inclusive Leadership” Training on Managers’ Beliefs and Attitudes towards Workers with Disabilities
Abstract
The article aims to evaluate the impact of "Inclusive Leadership" training on managerial beliefs and attitudes with the inclusion of disabled people. The research was carried out in a company, with 34 participating leaders, following a methodology guided by a pre-test, intervention and post-test. The intervention consisted of online training and the participants answered questionnaires on the topic, and sociodemographic questions. It was verified that when the training was finished, the explanatory factors of the favorable attitude related to the non-inclusion of disabled people were modified. The belief in the existence of benefits associated with hiring becomes the explanatory factor of the favorable attitude towards the inclusion of disabled people, in addition to identifying significant differences in the beliefs of the participants before and after the training. These results indicate that positive information about people with disabilities plays an important role in changing the beliefs and attitudes of managers.
Keywords: training, leadership, people with disabilities.
