“…The most frequent theme concerning leadership quality is support ( n = 25). Supervisors are described as an essential source of support [ 56 ] and can function as a key to employment success for disabled employees [ 64 ]. Most importantly, they play a crucial role as gatekeepers in facilitating work accommodations [ 57 ].…”

“…Conversely, the studies delineate instances of positive coworker attitudes, manifesting as understanding [ 41 , 62 , 98 ], appreciation and valuing [ 38 , 46 , 99 ], and respect [ 32 , 42 , 63 , 99 , 107 , 113 ]. Support from coworkers ( n = 36) is noted as contributing to a good and empowering social environment for disabled employees [ 63 , 94 ], wherein they can receive help [ 56 , 68 , 112 ], feel secure [ 78 , 90 ], and experience inclusion [ 57 ]. In this line, support is portrayed as a facilitator of work for disabled employees [ 33 , 55 ].…”

“…Correspondingly, other studies underscore providing transportation assistance as a valuable accommodation for disabled employees [ 1 , 3 , 38 , 60 , 99 , 127 ]. Considerations regarding changing work locations ( n = 8) frequently revolve around the challenges of inadequate accessibility [ 51 , 56 , 83 , 99 ]. On the other hand, changing work locations can facilitate disease management, as exemplified by an employee who viewed it positively that they could work during their routine medical appointments [ 55 ].…”

Purpose Disabled people are often overlooked in considerations about work design, which contributes to their exclusion from the labor market. This issue also reflects within research, as the body of knowledge on the working conditions of disabled employees remains relatively limited. Methods A scoping review was conducted to assess the research landscape concerning the working conditions of disabled employees. Five databases have been searched, focusing on relevant studies published between 2017 and 2022. Results One hundred fourteen studies were included in the review. It was found that social aspects of work appeared within a substantial portion of the examined studies. Furthermore, it became evident that the interplay of accessibility and flexibility provides an important dynamic to make work design both inclusive and feasible. Conclusion The recurrent prominence of social aspects, accessibility, and flexibility across the studies shows common challenges and potentials within the work situation of disabled employees. This suggests avenues for future research and inclusive work design.

“…The successes of the DIG led to academic publications and other capacity building exercises on campus. 91 Additionally, UQ gained international recognition for its innovation in this space, which has helped secure collaborations on future research grants. 92 Staff with disabilities at the University of Queensland have used their university's commitment to meaningful and co-created DAPs to develop and demonstrate strategic leadership qualities; qualities that have helped secure promotions and may 1 day contribute to elevation to other opportunities that are not exclusive to disability.…”

Driven by anti-discrimination laws and a desire to promote human rights, universities have made strategic efforts to support their students with disabilities and provided some support to their staff with disabilities. However, persons with disabilities are not visible in senior leadership positions in universities. It is time for change. The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) has established new human rights expectations that require representation of persons with disabilities across all of society, and at all levels, at percentages which reflect their proportion within the population. Even though States are slow to introduce regulatory reforms to transform society and realize ability equality, some in the higher education sector are seeking to go above compliance and move their institutions, and the broader sector, to a more inclusive place. This paper maps out the efforts led at one Australian institution to use existing structures in disability discrimination laws to provide leadership opportunities for persons with disabilities as a blueprint for further change.
