The sample was constituted of 150 workers, 75 with and 75 without some disability. The groups were paired in function and work organization. The tools used were: Questionnaire about Organizational Commitment and Questionnaire about Satisfaction with Quality of Working Life. The answers were analyzed by quantitative method. The statistical analysis of organizational commitment and satisfaction did not present difference between people with and without disability. The results show that Satisfaction with Quality of working life and commitment are similar between people with and without disability.
