L’assetto valoriale nei confronti della disabilità a lavoro: Una ricerca basata sul modello di orientamento culturale

2018

La gestione delle diversità e delle disabilità a lavoro è espressione della dialettica fra l’unicità di ogni individuo e gli assetti organizzativi, plasmati su determinati valori, norme e credenze condivisi. Da questo punto di vista, conoscere qual è l’orientamento culturale di un’organizzazione nei confronti della disabilità è un momento preliminare funzionale per direzionare e sostenere pratiche proattive e a lungo termine di disability management. Il presente lavoro fornisce un primo contributo empirico di validazione di un modello originale di competenza culturale nei confronti della disabilità a lavoro, attraverso i dati provenienti da una indagine condotta presso un dipartimento della…

Disability Management e culture organizzative: Verso la definizione di un modello di orientamento culturale dell’organizzazione verso la disabilità a…

2016

L’ultimo decennio ha visto indubbiamente aumentare la sensibilità delle aziende italiane nei confronti del Disability Management, inteso come un approccio strategico finalizzato alla valorizzazione e all’empowering dei lavoratori con disabilità. A fronte di questa crescente attestazione d’interesse, tradotta peraltro in sempre più numerose iniziative gestionali mirate, si riscontra tuttavia ad oggi una carenza di modelli che consentano di valutare se, e quanto, la cultura e i valori di un’organizzazione siano congruenti con l’implementazione e lo sviluppo di pratiche di gestione delle differenze legate alla disabilità, pienamente in linea con una logica di valorizzazione delle diverse abili…
