Case Studies of Factors Influencing
Engagement of People with Disabilities
In contrast to the cross-organizational research design of our other projects, the purpose of this project was to conduct a case study of one federal and one private organization. Results to date highlights the employee's view of three primary issues emerging across several other related Cornell research projects: 1) self-disclosure, both of one's disability status and also of one's need for an accommodation; 2) perceptions related to disability discrimination (including factors that impact their likelihood); and 3) employee and managerial perceptions of, and experiences with (where applicable) disability policies and practices within their organization.
