Çalışmak, gelir, sosyal statü, sosyal ilişkiler ve topluma aidiyet duygusu gibi pek çok önemli bireysel, ekonomik ve psiko-sosyal işlevleri yerine getirmektedir. Bütün bu işlevleri ile çalışmak, (görme) engellilerin de toplumla bağının kopmaması, toplumsal yaşama katılmasında merkezi rol oynamaktadır. Çalışma, nitel araştırma yöntemi ile çalışma yaşamına aktif katılan görme engelli bireylerin çalışmayı nasıl anlamlandırdıkları, çalışmanın onlar için işlevleri incelemekte ve ortaya koymaktadır. Bulgular, görme engelli bireyler için “çalışma”nın anlamlı ve önemli olduğunu göstermektedir. Çalışmak, para kazanmanın ötesinde, gör(e)memenin yol açtığı olumsuz psikolojik, sosyal, duyusal sonuçları bertaraf etmede ve yaşadıkları topluma dahil olma duygusunu pekiştirmede değerli bir işlev görmektedir. [Görme] engellilere yönelik önyargılı işveren/iş arkadaşı tutumlarının ve işyeri düzenlemelerinin (görme) engeline göre yapılmaması gibi olumsuzlukların varlığı ise, çalışmanın görme engelli çalışanlar açısından psiko-sosyal, bireysel faydalarını azalttığı çalışmada ulaşılan diğer bulgulardır.

Anahtar Kelimeler
