Abstract

ABSTRACT Effective management of autistic employees is a topic germane to the successful integration of individuals on the spectrum into the workplace, but is a question that management researchers are only starting to broach. Unlike past research, we examine successful management for autistic employees without applying a priori leadership constructs traditionally found in the literature. Instead, we use a grounded approach to investigate how managers can effectively structure the day-to-day interactions they have with autistic employees. In doing so, we identify a dialectic between wanting to treat all employees as equal while understanding that different employees have very different needs. Based on this dialectic, we explore managerial behaviors associated with the poles and propose four different management types that lead to different outcomes for employees and organizations. Lastly, we build on aspects of identity negotiation to unpack how managers can balance the dialectic between different needs and wanting equal treatment .
平衡Teeter-Totter:管理神经多样性员工的辩证观
自闭症员工的有效管理是一个与自闭症个体成功融入工作场所密切相关的话题,但管理研究人员才刚刚开始提出这个问题。与过去的研究不同,我们考察了自闭症员工的成功管理,而没有应用传统上在文献中发现的先验领导结构。相反,我们采用了一种基于事实的方法来调查管理者如何有效地组织他们与自闭症员工的日常互动。在这样做的过程中,我们在希望平等对待所有员工和理解不同员工有非常不同的需求之间找到了一种辩证关系。基于这一辩证法,我们探讨了与极点相关的管理行为,并提出了四种不同的管理类型,这些管理类型会给员工和组织带来不同的结果。最后,我们以身份谈判为基础,揭示管理者如何平衡不同需求和要求平等待遇之间的辩证关系。

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.
