The purpose of this study was to examine corporate mechanisms for the employment of people with disabilities, as these people are still in an disadvantageous position in this regard in spite of their growing employment rate. Three factors were selected on the basis of three different theories that explained corporate human resources management mechanisms. The three theories were a lower-price strategy, a transaction cost theory and an institutional theory, and the three selected factors were economic factors, specific skills factors and institutional factors. Whether the factors had any impact on corporate employment and employment retention of people with disabilities and suspension of their employment was analyzed. As a result, the economic factors, specific skills factors and institutional factors were found to have exercised a significant influence on corporate employment decision making for people with disabilities. Given the findings of the study, the necessity of a shift in the direction of policy setting was suggested to expedite the employment of people with disabilities.
