Early employment outcomes for individuals on the autism spectrum: When judiciously selected and supported for competitive employment in highly skilled technical jobs.
Consulting Psychology Journal, Vol 75(4), Dec 2023, 354-368; doi:10.1037/cpb0000225There is growing evidence that neurodiversity can strengthen a workforce by adding new aptitudes, skills, and ways of doing things. This contrasts with traditional views that engaging those with neurominority conditions such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) presents challenges in areas such as emotional intelligence, ability to quickly incorporate group norms, ability to network, and being a team player. Results from a survey conducted in Canada between 2015 and 2018 provided support for the success of individuals with ASD when selected und...

Nowack, who is stepping down as editor-in-chief of Consulting Psychology Journal (CPJ) after 4 years, summarizes the publication’s contributions to the field of consulting psychology during his tenure.

The emergence of specialist disability leadership development—a case study of the disability leadership institute in Australia.
Consulting Psychology Journal, Vol 75(3), Sep 2023, 297-314; doi:10.1037/cpb0000262We live in a world where it is rare for disabled people to sit in parliaments or boardrooms or hold leadership positions. This lack of representation in communities, organizations, and management positions seems to be one of the key drivers for inequality in work and leadership opportunities for disabled people. Many organizations have already developed specific leadership programs for female, Indigenous, and culturally diverse people (e.g., Australian Indigenous Leadership Centre), and Stanford Business School has now developed a specialist...

Double disadvantage: Disability and gender in the context of workplace harassment.
This study focused on verbal and physical harassment at work. Taking an intersectionality perspective, we examined whether the experiences of harassment, the target’s reaction, and perceived resolution depend on the disability status and biological sex. We expanded the current research on workplace harassment by following with target action-taking and resolution. Using the Canadian General Social Survey, we examined the relationships among disability status (no disability, physical, or mental/psychological disability), biological sex, and experiences of verbal and physical harassment at work. Results indicated that femal...

Workplace perceptions based upon disability and veteran identities.
Consulting Psychology Journal, Vol 75(3), Sep 2023, 258-276; doi:10.1037/cpb0000243We investigated the intersectionality of disability and veteran status to determine whether workplace perceptions were impacted by diverse identity experiences. Our sample was 16,000 U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) employees who reported having a disability, were veterans, or both. We also included a subset of nondisabled, nonveteran staff for comparative purposes. The data source was the 2021 VA All Employee Survey, an annual, confidential, voluntary organizational-satisfaction census within the VA. Using a mixed-method approach, w...

Overlooked employees: Understanding the experiences of disability status and remote working in the wake of COVID-19.
Consulting Psychology Journal, Vol 75(3), Sep 2023, 240-257; doi:10.1037/cpb0000242Although the shift to remote work brought about by COVID-19 serves as a critical event for most, workers with disabilities may be differentially impacted owing to the historical social exclusion of this population. Compounding this social exclusion with the lack of physical presence in the workplace, important questions arise related to disability and remote work—in particular, whether employees with disabilities may receive diminished help from others when working remotely (rather than in the workplace) and whether this diminished help is...

Creating a culture of inclusivity for employees with sensory disabilities: Best practices for organizations.
Consulting Psychology Journal, Vol 75(3), Sep 2023, 225-239; doi:10.1037/cpb0000226Organizations have a responsibility to create a culture that is welcoming and comfortable for all employees, including those with disabilities. However, very little information has been published on best practices for creating an inclusive culture other than what is readily available in government documents. We provide best practices for organizations beyond what is found in the literature to help employers foster an inclusive workplace environment. In this article we review what it means to have a sensory disability and how that affects one...

Successful employment outcomes for people with disabilities: A proposed conceptual model.
Consulting Psychology Journal, Vol 75(3), Sep 2023, 202-224; doi:10.1037/cpb0000222People with disabilities represent approximately 16% of the population but are significantly underrepresented in mainstream employment. Using the framework of the social model of disability, we applied scoping-study methodology to undertake a literature search of peer-reviewed articles published between January 2001 and October 2019. Considering factors at the individual, organizational, and systemic levels, the review focused on identifying the predictors of successful employment outcomes for people with disabilities to develop a conceptual...

Informing inclusive management practices for employees with developmental disabilities: A supervisor training needs analysis.
Consulting Psychology Journal, Vol 75(4), Dec 2023, 322-353; doi:10.1037/cpb0000261Individuals with developmental disabilities (DD) face significant barriers limiting their opportunities for competitive integrated employment. Given the critically low employment rates and the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on individuals with DD, there is an urgent need for research that investigates ways to eradicate existing barriers to improve the employment outlook for this population. To address significant gaps in both research and practice, the present study involved a supervisor training needs analysis informed by four ...

Coaching for gender diversity: A thematic analysis of approaches, frameworks, and their efficacy.
This study examined executive coaching as an intervention to drive gender diversity in leadership in the workplace. In 2022, women represented 32% of c-suite and director roles globally and 4.6% of Fortune Global 500 chief executive officers, of which six were women of color. This illustrates challenges faced by countries, organizations, and leaders. Executive coaching, a growing global business, can be an effective leadership intervention, yet limited studies examine its use to address leadership gender imbalance. Therefore, it is critical we explore the practice–research gap to highlight effective executive coaching ap...

Dialogues in Leadership Herstory: Exploring the experiences of Black women faculty in a leadership-development program.
Consulting Psychology Journal, Vol 75(1), Mar 2023, 119-134; doi:10.1037/cpb0000228Black women are underrepresented in all ranks of higher education, from tenured faculty to university presidents. There is a need for academic leadership programs that support Black women’s rise to positions of leadership within academia. Dialogues in Leadership Herstory (DiLH) is a professional-development program that supports women’s exploration of leadership in higher education through coaching. Its design of a short-term, high-impact group mentorship engages female faculty and staff at varying stages of their careers and offers them...

Seeing through woke-washing: Effects of projected diversity values and leader racial diversity on equity in workplace outcomes.
Consulting Psychology Journal, Vol 75(1), Mar 2023, 94-118; doi:10.1037/cpb0000237Organizations that engage in “woke-washing,” in which they signal advocacy and commitment to a social-justice-related cause without taking actions to back up this appearance of intention (Vredenburg et al., 2020), may harm vulnerable minority groups. The presence of multicultural values, emphasizing the appreciation of distinct cultural identities, in companies’ promotional materials, versus color-blind values, which minimize cultural distinctions, may affect Black/Hispanic/Latinx (BHL) versus White individuals’ likelihood of applying...

Development or discrimination: Black women leaders’ experience with multisource feedback.
Consulting Psychology Journal, Vol 75(1), Mar 2023, 68-93; doi:10.1037/cpb0000215The lack of representation of Black women in leadership across levels and industries of U.S. organizations reflects not only a business failure to leverage critical human capital but also a moral one. To effectively develop more Black women into leadership roles, intersectional research is needed to better understand their developmental experiences. Applying an intersectional lens, we sought to understand the phenomenological experience of Black women participating in a common leader-development approach, multisource feedback (MSF). MSF includ...
