Abstract

Employees' self-esteem is one of important antecedent of performance or knowledge sharing at workplace. Therefore, organizations are faced with the need to manage self-esteem. In this study, I focused attention on companies which employ handicapped people and conducted interview surveys. In addition, I analyzed the case of the companies based on the concept of self-esteem and considered management methods to enhance employees' self-esteem. The results showed that the companies adapt their tasks to handicapped people and treat them as helpful employees.
