People with disabilities have experienced a long history of prejudice and disenfranchisement. Negative attitudes and stigmas continue to act as barriers to employment and career success of individuals with disabilities. However, diversity and inclusion of people with disabilities is an under-researched area in public administration. This study contributes to the literature by examining the turnover intentions of federal employees with disabilities as compared to employees without disabilities. In addition, this study investigates the moderating effects of inclusive organizational practices (i.e., organizational fairness, empowerment, openness, supportiveness, and cooperativeness) in lowering the turnover intentions of federal employees, and particularly, for employees with disabilities. Findings of this study indicate, as compared to employees without disabilities, the odds of demonstrating an intention to leave their current organization are significantly higher for employees with disabilities. While other inclusion practices did not have the expected effects, organizational fairness was found to be a key factor mitigating the negative relationship between employee’s disability status and turnover intentions.
