title: Negative work behaviours: their impact on disabled people seeking work.
abstract: This paper looks at work behaviours which prevent an individual from getting and keeping a job, and then reviews how these behaviours might be changed. The term 'work behaviours' is examined and a definition for the term is proposed. Possible causes of negative work behaviours are cited, along with the way they might manifest themselves. A diagram demonstrating visually the causes and manifestations of negative work behaviours is shown. The potential for changing work behaviors is discussed, followed by a review of possible techniques that can affect such a change. Direct and indirect techniques of behaviour change are described. Direct behaviour change is seen to be preferable to indirect change, and the author looks briefly at nine methods of direct behaviour change.
