ABSTRACT
This paper examines the complex interplay between educational attainment, work performance, and the challenges faced by persons with disabilities in Bihar, India. An examination of education and its effect on work performance shows strong links in competitive industries. Studies show that higher education levels connect to better job performance and productivity. They also link to career advancement. This leads to better economic results for individuals with disabilities. They reduce bias against disabilities in the workplace.
Methodology: This study uses a quantitative method to measure how education affects work performance for people with disabilities in Bihar, India. The use of convenience sampling admits the practical limits of research in Bihar.
Findings: The findings indicate that a significant number of persons with disabilities in Bihar experience considerable barriers to career progression, despite governmental and organizational efforts aimed at fostering inclusive workplaces. This disparity often arises from inconsistencies between stated inclusive ideals and actual implementation practices, where opportunities for individuals with disabilities remain largely at operational and low-complexity levels, even for those with higher education.
Originality/Value: This research offers a novel contribution by specifically analyzing the state of Bihar, providing granular insights into the unique socio-economic and policy challenges faced by persons with disabilities in a competitive industrial setting that largely remains unexplored in existing literature. . Furthermore, this study will guide Indian hiring agents toward more genuinely inclusive talent acquisition practices, a domain where current research indicates a significant gap between policy and practical implementation, often relegating individuals with disabilities to lower-level positions despite their qualifications.
Implication: This research underscores the urgent need for robust policy interventions and employer-led initiatives that not only focus on hiring but also on the career development and advancement of employees with disabilities, thereby fostering genuinely inclusive work environments in India.
Key words: Education level, work performance, persons with disabilities, India, Bihar, competitive work environment, Industrial atmosphere
