Reference Papers

–
Worldwide managers played an important role in training and accommodating specially-abled persons in the workplace at different demographics.
–
There is limited study in the Indian context.
–
Research on HR managers and departmental managers together in a study is missing. There are enough prospects for specially-abled people in the hotel industry.
–
Training is considered as a very crucial part in employing specially-abled people. There is a wide disparity in the level of studies for job prospects for the specially-abled in the hotel industry.

–
There were no studies on the well-being of specially-abled people already working in hotels, so it will be researched based on economic and non-economic factors.
–
Limited types of specially-abled people are employed.
