title: Job attitudes among workers with disabilities: The importance of family support in addition to organizational support.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  In the case of workers with disabilities, family support is often essential to gain access to the labor market and achieve personal autonomy and financial independence, in addition to fostering job satisfaction and permanence in the organization. Moreover, the support offered by organizations is particularly valued by workers with disabilities, as the organizations that hire such people generally go to considerable lengths to ensure their adaptation and integration in the workplace, contributing to job satisfaction and permanence in the organization.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  The aim of this study is to investigate the relationships between organizational support and family support with job satisfaction and intention to quit the organization among workers with disabilities employed in ordinary firms.
  
  
  METHODS
  Our study surveyed 204 workers using a questionnaire, and we used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analyses to test these relationships.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Our results show that organizational support is a significant explanatory factor in the levels of job satisfaction. Moreover, our results indicate that the participants perceived high levels of support from their families, facilitating the conciliation of work and family life.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Our results have practical implications in order to improve full integration and normalization of workers with disabilities in ordinary jobs.
