Introduction: Considering the importance of employment in forming the economic and psychological context of people with disabilities and the need for government support in planning and development of the disability, this study aimed to design a public-supported employment model for the development of disability in Iran. A review of studies shows that such a model has not been studied in previous research, and a comprehensive model for public-supported employment is essential.
Method: In this research, we studied the basic theories about public-supported employment and disability entrepreneurship as well as its theoretical evolution. Then a model was extracted in four dimensions based on the literature. After designing the interview protocol, 13 interviews were conducted with experts in welfare, employment of handicapped entrepreneurs. The qualitative data analysis technique was the use of thematic analysis.
Findings: Findings had shown a model with five dimensions of governmental, corporate, public, individual, and occupational factors along with 29 components for disabled employment that should be taken into consideration.
Finally, the designed model was approved by 120 experts in the field of disability employment and the final model was approved at 95% confidence level.
Discussion: Because the research model takes into account both policy and operational levels, the results of this study can be used to promote the development of Entrepreneurial Disability in the country by Public policy makers and managers in the field of policy making and policy implementation.
