ABSTRACT

Objective: The purpose of this study is to develop competency indicators for evaluating the work competency approved for exclusion from the application of minimum wage, and use them to evaluate the productivity and job performance of workers with disabilities. Methods: After deriving the indicators related to the workability evaluation of disabled workers through prior research, a draft of the Delphi survey was produced after verification by three experts. Next, 20 Delphi experts tried to derive competency indicators for evaluating the workability of workers with disabilities who are exempt from minimum wage application through Delphi research. Results: As a result of 2 Delphi studies, 4 competency clusters, i.e., cognitive function, social function, work function, and safety and health activities, and 20 competency indicators, including the ability to count numbers and information utilization aability, were derived. Conclusion: The derived competency clusters and competency indicators can be used to evaluate the job performance capability of workers with disabilities, thereby increasing the validity of the workability evaluation approved for exclusion from minimum wage. In future research, it is necessary to develop a scale for each competency cluster and a competency indicator, and apply it to the field to verify the validity.
