Internationally, the participation of people with disabilities (irrespective of the type and severity of disability) in the labour market is on the rise. Within the Hungarian context, research on employment of people with disabilities is limited. The objective of this study was to ascertain the attitudes of employers towards employees with disabilities in the hospitality industry. The sample consisted of 174 participants from the city of Budapest, Hungary and quantitative methods were used to analyse the data. Factor analysis was used to evaluate the factorial structure for this study that yielded six meaningful factors, and ANOVA, Sample t- test and Independent t-test were used to examine the relationship between attitudes of personnel with business and employers’ demographics. This study yielded important results regarding the attitudes of employers toward the employees with disabilities in Hungary. One of the major findings of this study was that the employers displayed neutral responses toward employees with disabilities at the place of work. Managerial implications, limitations and recommendations for future studies are further discussed.

Analizę czynnikową wykorzystano do oceny struktury czynnikowej dla tego badania, która dostarczyła sześciu znaczących czynników, a ANOVA, próbny test t-Studenta i niezależny t-test posłużyły do zbadania zależności między postawami personelu a biznesem i demografią pracodawców.
