Rutgers Prof. Researches Impact of Disabilities on Supervisor-Subordinate Relationship
Assistant professor of management David Dwertmann at the Rutgers School of Business- Camden recently conducted research on the ways that disabilities can negatively impact the supervisor-subordinate relationship. Dwertmann’s research explains that there is already proof that the supervisor-subordinate relationship can be affected when the subordinate has a disability, but that the relationship can also be affected when it is the supervisor who has a disability. His research shows that supervisors with disabilities are unfairly stigmatized.
“If we think about a manager or a leader, we usually think of someone with a high skill level who has positive characteristics and we therefore have high expectations of the person, but disabilities are often stigmatized and associated with low expectations or no expectations at all,” Dwertmann said in a Rutgers news release. “This large gap in expectations is more salient and may therefore cause more detrimental effects if the supervisor has a disability compared to the subordinate.”
