| Summary: | Implementing an appropriate improvement of existing policies, guidelines, schemes, and programmes is crucial
for the organisations to solve the issue of lack of employment opportunity faced by PWDs. Building upon
Psychology of Working Theory (PWT), this research tested the interaction between decent work, job engagement
and well-being outcomes (meaningful work and situational well-being). Using purposive sampling technique
which involved 143 PWDs in Malaysia via SurveyMonkey, the measurement items were adopted from past research
with acceptable reliability, and the hypothesis were tested via Partial Least Squares (PLS) 2.0. The findings
revealed that decent work was related to well-being outcomes. The association between decent work and well
being outcomes was shown to be partially mediated on job engagement. This research complements the literature
on human resource that contribute to the growing body of knowledge particularly regarding well-being outcomes
for PWDs. The government is suggested to be attentive and revise the related policies and practices that suit the
current organisational work systems and to enhance the quality and effectiveness of job support services such as
Job Coach to enable the PWDs to get a job and stay in the job.
