Employer Training Interventions in Supported Employment Workplaces and Their Impact on Hiring Attitudes

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of training interventions in public, institutional or private organizations forpromoting positive attitudes among employers towards hiring individuals with intellectual developmental disabilities (IDD) insupported employment settings. The study included 60 employers, divided into three groups: video case studies, analysis casestudies and a treatment group. Over the course of a year, participants attended nine structured training interventions. Pre‐, post‐and 6‐month post‐training questionnaires were administered to measure psychological empowerment, self‐efficacy and atti-tudes towards hiring individuals with disabilities. Employers exposed to video case studies exhibited more positive attitudesthan those engaged in case study analyses. The study found a positive correlation between training intervention strategies (videoand analysis case studies) and their effectiveness. The positive psychological effects persisted 6 months after the intervention.This study suggests training that provides a supportive environment for employers hiring individuals with IDD to addressethical dilemmas, leading to improvement in their psychological indicators over time. Authentic simulation videos showcasingreal‐life managerial experiences proved effective in fostering positive psychological dimensions. The study facilitates a moreinclusive and diverse workforce.
