PURPOSE –: Many workers with disabilities face cultures of exclusion in the workplace, which can affect their participation in decisions, workplace engagement, job attitudes and performance. The authors explore a key indicator of engagement-perceptions of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB)-as it relates to disability and other marginalized identities in the workplace.
DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH –: Using an online survey, legal professionals answered questions about their workplace experiences. Ordinary least squares (OLS) multivariate regression analysis with progressive adjustment was used to investigate the effect of demographic and organizational factors on perceptions of OCB.
FINDINGS –: The authors find that employees with disabilities have lower perceptions of OCB, both before and after controlling for other personal and job variables. The disability gap is cut nearly in half, however, when controlling for workplace culture measures of co-worker support and the presence of an effective diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policy. Disability does not appear to interact with gender, race/ethnicity and LGBTQ + status in affecting perceptions of OCB.
ORIGINALITY/VALUE –: The results point to the workplace barriers faced by people with disabilities that affect their perceptions of engagement, and the potential for supportive cultures to change these perceptions.
许多残疾员工在工作场所面临排斥文化，这可能会影响他们参与决策、工作投入度、工作态度和工作表现。作者探讨了一个与工作投入相关的关键指标——组织公民行为（OCB）认知，因为它与工作场所中的残疾及其他边缘化身份相关。
设计/方法/途径：通过在线调查，法律专业人员回答了有关其工作场所经历的问题。使用具有逐步调整的普通最小二乘法（OLS）多元回归分析来研究人口统计学和组织因素对OCB认知的影响。
作者发现，无论是否控制其他个人和工作变量，残疾员工对OCB的认知都较低。然而，在控制了同事支持的工作场所文化措施以及有效的多元化、公平和包容性（DEI）政策的存在后，残疾差距几乎缩小了一半。在影响OCB认知方面，残疾似乎并未与性别、种族/族裔和LGBTQ+身份相互作用。
原创性/价值：研究结果指出了残疾人士在工作场所面临的影响其参与感认知的障碍，以及支持性文化改变这些认知的可能性。
