Abstract

Abstract: At present,to fulfill social responsibilities and avoid paying employment funds for the disabled,many enterprises have recruited a significant number of disabled employees.Given the fierce competition,employees' work efficiency is the lifeblood of enterprise development.In order to improve the performance of the disabled,a special factor is introduced which distinguishes the handicapped from the normal based on the traditional learning curve model.In the meantime,the relationship among cumulative productions,cumulative differences and production times is analyzed.According to the double-factor learning curve model,a learning curve model for the disabled is built.Eventually,practical data from Group F is applied to examine the feasibility of the new learning curve model.By comparing the results calculated by the traditional learning curve with that of the improved learning curve,it is found that the latter is more accurate and reasonable.Specific solutions are put forward to enhance the work performance of the disabled on the basis of further analysis of special factors.This study can provide references for decision-makers of the same type of enterprises.

Key words: work performance, two-factor learning curve model, special factors, the disabled learning curve model
