Abstract

ABSTRACT Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is now conceptualized as a life-course persistent disorder, including impairments in the occupational functional domains. Occupational impairment is one of the considerations in contemporary diagnostic criteria for ADHD. This study compares the workplace behavior of 26 young adults without ADHD to 24 young adults with ADHD in a simulated pizza restaurant and delivery setting on a job application completion task, in a job interview, and on job performance tasks. Results indicated that there were significant differences in masked ratings of job interview performance, favoring the performance of individuals without ADHD. No significant differences were obtained for job applications and job performance. Results suggest that job interviewing skills may be an important area to address for individuals with ADHD entering the workforce.

注意力缺陷/多动障碍患者和非注意力缺陷/多动症患者的职业行为评价

注意力缺陷/多动障碍（ADHD）现在被概念化为一种生命过程中的持续性障碍，包括职业功能领域的障碍。职业损伤是当代多动症诊断标准中的一个考虑因素。这项研究比较了26名没有多动症的年轻人和24名患有多动症的青年人在模拟披萨店和外卖环境中完成求职申请、面试和工作表现任务的工作行为。结果表明，求职面试表现的蒙面评分存在显著差异，有利于非多动症个体的表现。工作申请和工作表现没有显著差异。研究结果表明，对于进入职场的多动症患者来说，面试技能可能是一个需要解决的重要领域。

期刊介绍： Human Performance publishes research investigating the nature and role of performance in the workplace and in organizational settings and offers a rich variety of information going beyond the study of traditional job behavior. Dedicated to presenting original research, theory, and measurement methods, the journal investigates individual, team, and firm level performance factors that influence work and organizational effectiveness. Human Performance is a respected forum for behavioral scientists interested in variables that motivate and promote high-level human performance, particularly in organizational and occupational settings. The journal seeks to identify and stimulate relevant research, communication, and theory concerning human capabilities and effectiveness. It serves as a valuable intellectual link between such disciplines as industrial-organizational psychology, individual differences, work physiology, organizational behavior, human resource management, and human factors.
