Abstract
Orang Kurang Upaya (OKU) penglihatan dalam sektor perkhidmatan awam menghadapi pelbagai isu dan cabaran dalam pekerjaan mereka. Antara isu yang sering dihadapi oleh pekerja OKU penglihatan adalah pengangkutan, kemahiran dan latihan vokasional, tahap pendidikan, sikap negatif majikan, kekurangan penguatkuasaan dasar dan persekitaran yang tidak kondusif di tempat kerja. Selain itu, pekerja OKU penglihatan juga mempunyai keperluan yang khusus berbanding pekerja lain. Oleh itu, kajian ini dijalankan bagi meneroka keperluan pekerja OKU penglihatan dalam sektor perkhidmatan awam. Reka bentuk kajian ini adalah kajian kes dengan menggunakan kaedah kualitatif iaitu temu bual separa berstruktur. Kajian ini dijalankan sekitar kawasan Lembah Klang yang melibatkan empat orang informan terdiri daripada tiga orang lelaki dan seorang perempuan. Rakaman temu bual telah ditranskrip secara verbatim dan dianalisis secara tematik. Hasil kajian ini mendapati terdapat tiga keperluan utama bagi pekerja OKU penglihatan dalam sektor perkhidmatan awam, iaitu dari segi keperluan pengangkutan, kebolehcapaian di tempat kerja dan kemudahan di tempat kerja. Justeru itu, kajian ini mencadangkan supaya pihak-pihak berkepentingan mengambil langkah yang proaktif dalam memenuhi keperluan pekerja OKU penglihatan dalam sektor perkhidmatan awam supaya kesejahteraan mereka dapat dipertingkatkan.

Abstract: People with visual impairment in the public service sector face various issues and challenges in their work. Among the issues that visually impaired employees often face are transportation, skills and vocational training, education level, negative employer attitudes, lack of policy enforcement, and an environment that is not conducive to work. Besides that, visually impaired employees also have special needs compared to other workers. Therefore, this study was conducted to explore the needs of visually impaired employees in the public service sector. The design of this study is a case study using a qualitative method which is a semi-structured interview. This study was conducted around the Klang Valley area involving four informants consisting of three men and one woman. Interview recordings were transcribed verbatim and analyzed thematically. This study shows that there are three main needs for visually impaired employees in the public service sector, namely in terms of transportation needs, accessibility at work and convenience at work. Therefore, this study suggests that stakeholders take pro steps in meeting the needs of visually impaired employers in the public service sector so that their well-being can be improved.
