Abstract

In this paper we look into the factors that support the career advancement of People with Disability (PWD) and trigger the breaking of the glass ceiling. We explore the Social Cognitive Career Theory and examine the organisational initiatives for PWD to understand their advancement into the managerial cadre. Using 13 semi-structured interviews involving PWD-managers, their managers and subordinates from the Indian IT/ITes Industry, we found multiple factors that facilitate the success of PWD-Managers. These factors can be categorised into individual factors and organisational initiatives which allow PWDs to become “Performers” & enable them to move into managerial positions.
