Abstract
This study aims to examine the effect of discrimination experience on job satisfaction among working women with disabilities, focusing on meditating effect of self-esteem. To this end, the data from the 8th year of the employment panel of disabled population surveyed by the EDI; Korea Employment Agency for the Disabled was used for the study. The data collected from 549 working women of disabilities from EDI was analysed by using the path analysis. The findings are as follows: first, discrimination experience of working women with disabilities had a significantly negative effect of their job satisfaction. Second, self-esteem presented the mediating effect between discrimination experience and job satisfaction. Based on the results, this study proposed various programs to increase job satisfaction by enhancing self-esteem in situations where the experience of discrimination among women with disabilities is high and suggested practical implications to increase job satisfaction of working women with disabilities.
