This study investigated the effects of applicants' gender, age and disability on employers' and vocational rehabilitation specialists' hiring decisions for two positions. The participants were 159 employers from two major national employment service centers and 109 vocational rehabilitation specialists from several vocational rehabilitation centers in southern Taiwan. Participants were asked to give a score for each of 16 applicants based on the applicants' resumes and the participants' hiring preferences for two hypothetical positions. An instrument was developed based on the resumes using conjoint analysis, and the results showed that: 1. With regard to hiring preference, the employers and vocational rehabilitation specialists ranked gender, age, education, work history and prior job performance in the same order, but the differed as to the ranking order of disability levels; 2. Age and disability were found to be more important than gender in participants' ranking orders; 3. The relative importance of gender, age, and disability were found to be different for two different positions and different groups of participants. |
