ALCOVER, Carlos María  e  PEREZ TORRES, Vanesa. Workers with disabilities: Concerns, challenges, and intervention principles in occupational health. Med. segur. trab. [online]. 2011, vol.57, suppl.1, pp.206-223. ISSN 1989-7790.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0465-546X2011000500013.

Participation and normalization of people with disabilities in the labor market are related to factors external to the organization as the legal, financial or occupational contexts, as well as factors related to people management in companies: organizational culture, HRM policies and practices, supervision and leadership styles and co-workers relationships. This paper aims to review the main psychosocial factors related to access, integration and performance of people with disabilities in organizations and their implications for wellbeing, occupational health and quality of work life of this colective. Based on the theoretical model proposed by Stone and Colella ¹ we analyze the research findings about macro-organizational and interpersonal factors and their relations to psychosocial risks and their prevention. Finally, we offer a set of conclusions and proposals for intervention and future research aimed at improving the occupational health of workers with disabilities.
