Abstract(s)
The main objective of this doctoral research is to understand how the labour market integrates the people with
disabilities (PwD's), to understand what emotions they feel and how they generate them throughout the working day, and also to know how communication is processed in the workplace. In this study, the mixed methodology was chosen, using qualitative and quantitative research. In the qualitative methodology, the semi-structured interview was used and in the quantitative methodology, the questionnaire was used. The sample consisted of 50 workers with disabilities and 314co-workers of the same(n=314), employees of the Auchan Portugal Group. Through the results obtained, the PwD's recognize their emotions when interacting with their co-workers, however, most disguise the discomfort felt, not communicating clearly what emotions they felt. Most disabled workers have a high degree of awareness of the emotions experienced in the workplace but are reluctant to communicate these emotions to co-workers. This prevents colleagues from understanding what PwD is feeling and is an obstacle to clear communication.
