摘要

Abstract

With the increasing reliance on emerging technologies in the context of digital transformation

businesses aim to enhance service quality and adapt to changing customer needs. However

persons with disabilities still face barriers to employment due to negative attitudes

lack of accessibility

and discrimination. Therefore

there is a need to explore the challenges and opportunities associated with learning organization

digital accessibility

and disability in digital transformation

specifically focusing on employment for persons with disabilities in the human resources industry. This research agenda seeks to investigate the role of learning organization in enabling persons with disabilities for employment

identifying key challenges and opportunities associated with learning organization

digital accessibility

and disability in digital transformation. The contributions will provide valuable insights into policies and strategies that can promote accessibility

inclusion

and equity in the workplace for persons with disabilities through the lens of learning organization

contributing to the sustainable development goal of reducing inequality and promoting inclusive economic growth. This research agenda will be relevant for policymakers

employers

and persons with disabilities in the human resources industry.
