Abstract

In this conceptual paper, I argue that organizations operate under the assumption that they have an able-bodied workforce. To this end, I interrogate how the concept of ‘ability’ is embedded into daily organizational decision-making processes, and consequently manifest themselves in the way organizations construct and assign tasks for workers with disabilities.
