The present study aims to determine whether the workers living with disabilities react in the same way to monetary and non-monetary incentives compared with other workers.

From a theoretical perspective, this study explores a variant of the principal-agent theory which includes two workers types: the worker with a disability and the worker without a disability.

From this theory, it reveals that the workers would respond to incentives; however, it is not clear if those living with disabilities respond differently in comparison with the non-disabled workers.

From an empirical perspective, this conclusion was drawn from a field study, an experience within a Québec city-based company. In this study, the workers are assigned to repetitive manual tasks and randomly receive monetary or non-monetary incentives.

The collected data through this study is subjected to an intra-group and an intergroup analysis.
