Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to analyze the relationship between greater participation of people with disabilities in Brazilian firms and productivity as a performance indicator. Design/methodology/approach – To test the relationship between the proportion of PwD and the productivity of Brazilian firms, we used regression analysis with panel data and a dataset of public information from 46 firms for years 2010 and 2011. Findings – There was no statistical evidence stating that a greater proportion of people with disabilities in the workforce has a negative (or positive) relationship with the productivity of Brazilian firms. Conversely, a positive relationship between a greater proportion of people with disabilities and productivity was found amongst firms that present greater social commitment. Originality/value – These results indicate the contingent character associated with diversity management, and that the adoption of social practices by Brazilian firms can be an important mechanism for the management of diversity and inclusion.

多样性和绩效之间的关系是什么?一项关于残疾人比例与巴西企业生产率之间关系的研究

目的-本研究旨在分析巴西公司中残疾人的更多参与与作为绩效指标的生产力之间的关系。设计/方法/方法-为了测试巴西公司的PwD比例与生产率之间的关系，我们使用面板数据和2010年和2011年46家公司的公开信息数据集进行回归分析。研究结果-没有统计证据表明劳动力中较大比例的残疾人与巴西公司的生产率存在负(或正)关系。相反，在具有更大社会承诺的公司中，更大比例的残疾人与生产力之间存在正相关关系。原创性/价值-这些结果表明了与多样性管理相关的偶然性，巴西公司采用社会实践可以成为多样性和包容性管理的重要机制。
