Abstract
Organizations have been increasingly introducing new ways of working (NWW). Yet, it is still unclear how these new work practices can affect the ex/inclusion of people with disabilities (PWD). This paper theorizes the different ways through which the NWW can dis/able the work outcomes of PWD. We argue that the two dimensions of the NWW (i.e. flexible work conditions and collaborative organizational practices) have both enabling and disabling potentials for the work outcomes of PWD. Yet, we use the ideal worker concept to reason that, when combined, these two NWW dimensions create expectations from employees which are incompatible with how PWD are often perceived in the workplace. Given the high incidence of disability in the world’s population and the increasing popularity of the NWW, it is important to understand whether and how the NWW can be exclusionary toward PWD. Our conceptual model offers propositions concerning the impact of the NWW on the disability disadvantage in work outcomes and the possible moderating factors.
