Disability-based discrimination in organizations

Abstract

This article selects recent developments within the research domain of disability in organizations, exemplified through rigorous and innovative studies. First, the interest in invisible disability types and intersectional approaches to disability is noted. Second, the expansion to stakeholders outside the firm is appraised and personal, organizational and societal aspects of managing disability at work are reviewed. Third, the growing critical analysis of segregated labor market systems and the continued focus on reasonable accommodations and ableist organizing within the integrated labor market are considered. Finally, a continued underrepresentation of research from the Global South and an increasing demand for researchers' reflexivity with regard to their own positionality and disability status are discussed.
