大学教职员工在确保残疾学生接受高质量的中学后教育方面发挥着至关重要的作用。影响教师提供优质服务的意愿的因素很多。本次调查研究的目的是通过结构方程模型识别这些影响因素。研究结果表明，教师个人信念对提供合理的住宿条件有最直接的影响；对法律责任的了解和感受到的制度支持直接影响个人信念。对培训计划和干预措施提出了建议，以改善教师的个人信念，并加强他们为残疾学生提供的住宿和支持。
University faculty members play an essential role in ensuring that students with disabilities receive a quality postsecondary education. Many factors influence the willingness of faculty to provide quality services. The purpose of this survey study was to identify these influential factors through a structural equation modeling model. Findings indicate that faculty personal beliefs have the most direct influence on provision of reasonable accommodations; knowledge of legal responsibilities and perceived institutional support directly influence personal beliefs. Suggestions for training programs and interventions are made to improve faculty personal beliefs and enhance their provision of accommodations and support to students with disabilities.
