Abstract
This multidisciplinary project investigates parents with children with disabilities' engagement in schools, combining education and management perspectives. The main aims of this project are (a) to explore whether specific job resources and accommodations are correlated with levels of school engagement of employees with
children with disabilities; and (b) to identify demographic characteristics that influence parental engagement in schools. The research questions are as follows:
1. Are 'supervisor's support', 'co-workers' support', 'work and family control' correlated with parents' school engagement? 2. Do characteristics of employees with children with disabilities (such as gender, age, education, hierarchical rank, employment sector, part-time job status) influence school engagement?
