Individuals with disabilities face various challenges in the
workforce, including physical, psychological, and social barriers that hinder
full access and participation, leading to anxiety about entering the workforce.
Anxiety often arises due to negative thinking. Positive thinking, however, can
help individuals manage this anxiety. Objective: This study aims to examine the
relationship between positive thinking and anxiety about entering the workforce
among individuals with disabilities. Method: This research uses a quantitative
approach with purposive sampling, involving 60 participants with disabilities
aged 18-40. Data was collected through questionnaires that measure levels of
positive thinking and anxiety about the workforce. The gathered data was
analyzed using the product-moment correlation method. Result: The findings
show a significant negative relationship between positive thinking and anxiety
about entering the workforce among individuals with disabilities. Conclusion:
The implications of this study can serve as a reference for research on
marginalized communities, specifically individuals with disabilities
