Research Gap Perceived From the Above Literature

Research GapReference 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.

  • McIntosh & Harris, 2018;

  • Luu, 2019;

  • Pellicena et al., 2020;

  • Maini & Heera, 2019.

  • 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.
