Abstract

The percentage of company employment as advance into society in the intellectually/mentally disabled is almost the same as that in the physically disabled, and moreover is getting higher every year. The first objective is to analyze the characteristics of the intellectually/mentally disabled more deeply in order to help the government and companies to understand them and the employment rate to increase. The second objective is to review the work evaluation method of the intellectually/mentally disabled anew through this evaluation in order to trigger the research on the intellectually/mentally disabled to be activated. The result of the verification performed by this research has showed that the success or failure in a continuous company employment is more significantly related to the factors of "surrounding healthy persons" which are external factors than the factors arising from the disability of a disabled person. According to the result of this study, if they work with healthy persons in the same place, their job performance actually decreases. This shows that disabled person's own willingness to work and job performance ability is not much influenced by individual disability characteristics, but they are very likely to be significantly influenced by whether the human environment around them in the workplace is good or not.
