Summary/Abstract: A high percentage of people with disabilities are unemployed. In the developed countries the system of stimulating activities, which monitors their employing has been developed. In the Republic of Croatia such a system does not exist at the moment, although it is provided for in the Law on Professional Rehabilitation and Employing People with Disabilities. The main purpose of this research was to establish the latent structure of stimulating activities as a motivating factor in employing people with disabilities. The survey was based on a sample of 116 employers in the County of Primorje-Gorski Kotar which influence the employing of new employees. The assessment of stimulating activities scale used is a part of the questionnaire on the employers’ motivation in employing people with disabilities. The structure of stimulating activities was established by factor analysis. Two factors were discovered: the factor of financial income and the factor of financial support. Both of the factors are weakly to moderately perceived by the employers as motivating factors in employing people with disabilities. The results of the employers on particular stimulating activities are shown in the paper.
