Abstract

Remote work arrangements, facilitated through digital
entrepreneurship and remote work platforms, represent
employment inclusion strategy for persons with disabilities (PWD)
who need to possess a certain level of digital entrepreneurial
competencies (DEC) and knowledge of remote work platforms to
participate in such arrangements. Contemporary academic
literature on remote work opportunities for PWD lacks research
specifically targeting the competencies required for remote work
within this particular group. One approach to measuring the DEC
and remote work competencies of PWD is through selfassessment
of relevant competencies. Another approach involves
assessing their actual competencies through knowledge and
ability assessment. This study focuses on the self-assessment of
DEC and remote work competencies among a sample of PWD in
Serbia (n = 125), and explores their association with various sociodemographic
and contextual factors. Statistical analysis included
exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, and non-parametric
tests to compare differences between groups. The results suggest
a clear need for capacity building in remote work for PWD.
Furthermore, certain socio-demographic and contextual factors
were found to have a significant impact on perceptions of PWD
remote work competencies.
