“People with disabilities: Identity, stigmatization, accommodation, and intersection with gender and aging effects on employment opportunities. In Bendl, R., Bleijenbergh, I., Henttonen, E., & Mills, A. J., The Oxford Handbook of Diversity in Organisation”

Disability status continues to have a significant negative impact on employment outcomes, even in countries with nondiscrimination policies, and outcomes differ by gender and age. These subpar outcomes can be linked to both environmental and psychological factors. The design of jobs and workplaces often limits the ability of workers with disabilities to contribute to their fullest capacity. Stigmatization on the basis of disability status reduces employer willingness to hire workers with disabilities and make reasonable accommodations to allow them to perform effectively. Some research indicates that women, older workers and workers with disabilities tend to be labeled as unwilling or unable to perform in demanding paid work roles. Age intersects with disability resulting in inappropriate attribution of disability status as “normal aging.” Gender intersects with disability to result in lower labor force participation for women with disabilities compared to their male counterparts. Exclusion and stigmatization create barriers to the development of a positive self-identity as a person with a disability, but such identity development can be empowering, creating a sense of pride and providing a basis for advocacy. Considerably more research is needed to understand how the actions of organizations, leaders, and teams affect the employment outcomes of workers with disabilities and how impacts differ by gender and age. But based upon extant knowledge, there are many actions employers can take to improve outcomes for this group of workers.

“Perceived Support, Knowledge Tacitness, and Provider Knowledge Sharing”

This study provides a direct test of social exchange theory to knowledge sharing from the provider perspective by examining the effects of both perceived organizational support (POS) and perceived coworker support (PCS) on their direct knowledge sharing with their coworkers. Also examined is the moderating effect of providers’ perception of the tacitness of their knowledge on the relationship between these different sources of support and their knowledge sharing. Results show perceived coworker support (PCS) has a significant positive effect on provider knowledge sharing but that the relationship only holds when knowledge tacitness is high. Contrary to expectations, perceived organizational support (POS) did not have a significant positive effect on providers’ knowledge sharing and that this relationship did not depend on providers’ perceptions of their knowledge tacitness. The implications of these findings to research and practice are discussed.

“Persons with (dis)Abilities”

This chapter examines workplace discrimination faced by persons with (dis)abilities. It begins by discussing usage, meaning, and effects of the word “disability” and the related term “persons with disabilities.” It then considers the diversity of conditions and experiences among persons with (dis)abilities by reviewing extant research on people with five common disabling conditions (i.e., mobility, seeing, hearing, chronic illness, and psychiatric conditions). It also examines the importance of national context by taking a closer look at research on the experiences of people with (dis)abilities in five nations (i.e., United States, Canada, Germany, India, and China). By separately highlighting extant research on a few common conditions and nations, the chapter’s intent is to show the need for more research on specific conditions in specific work and national contexts, as well as the need for research integrating and summarizing these focused studies.

“Predicting Organizational Reconfiguration”

This chapter addresses the issue of structural change within for-profit organizations, both as adaptation to changing markets and as purposeful experimentation to search for new opportunities, and builds upon the “reconfiguration” construct. In the areas of strategy, evolutionary economics, and organization theory, there are conflicting theories that either predict structural change or discuss obstacles to change. Our aim is to highlight relevant theoretical rationales for why and when organizations would, or would not, be expected to undertake structural reconfiguration. We conclude with remarks on how these literatures, together, inform our understanding of reconfiguration and organization design and provide insights for practitioners.

“Pride in the Workplace: An Integrative Review, Synthesis, and Future Research Agenda”

Research on the role of emotions in organizations has evolved into a major field of study over the past two decades, often referred to as the “Affective Revolution,” (e.g., Barsade, Brief, and Spataro 2003; Elfenbein 2007). Taking note, many scholars have investigated the emotion most proximally associated with workplace achievement, self-efficacy, status and rank, identity, and collective belonging: pride. Pride reflects satisfaction with one's achievements and identity, the achievements of others or groups with whom one is closely associated (e.g., an organization; Helm 2013), or the possession of attributes that are socially valued (Tracy and Robins 2004). Surprisingly, despite the abundant and rapidly growing literature on pride in a work context, a comprehensive review of the literature is notably absent. Our review integrates and distills the current state of the science across this vast and fragmented literature, spread over multiple content domains. We identify emergent themes, offer an integrated process framework of pride in a work context, help to resolve conflicting findings and ongoing debates in this literature, and provide a series of generative and theoretically grounded suggestions for meaningfully extending the literature on pride in a work context.
