Otizmli Bireylerin İstihdamında Örgüt Desteğinin Rolü

Öz:
Otizmli bireyler çalışma kapasitesine sahip olmasına rağmen birtakım kısıtlardan dolayı örgütlerde yeterince istihdam şansı bulamamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, otizmli bireylerin istihdamını kolaylaştırmaya yönelik örgüt içi ne gibi düzenlemelerin yapıldığını ortaya koymaktır. Bu amaç için süt ürünlerisektöründe faaliyet gösteren bir örgüt, örnek olay deseniyle incelenmiştir. Veriler örgütün otizmli çalışanlara ilişkin elinde bulunan dokümanlar, proje tanıtım videosu, otizmlilerle çalışma rehberi, işverenrehberi, işe alım programı incelenerek toplanmıştır. Ayrıca otizmli bireylerin çalıştığı üretim tesisindeyapılan uygulamalar gözlemlenmiştir. Verilerin analizi sonucunda, otizmli çalışanların istihdam nedenleri ve istihdamı kolaylaştırmaya yönelik örgüt içinde yapılan iyileştirmeler iki ana temayı oluşturmuştur. Otizmli bireylerin istihdam edilmesinde örgütün kendine özgü özellikleri ve çevresel faktörlerinetkili olduğu görülmüştür. Örgüt içerisinde yapılan düzenlemelerin ise a) iş sağlığı ve güvenliği, b)çalışma ortamı, c) yardımcı teknoloji kullanımı, d) sosyal iletişim ve etkileşimi güçlendirme ve e) motivasyonu artırmaya yönelik olmak üzere beş temel alanda yapıldığı görülmüştür. Araştırma sonuçlarıotizmli bireylerin, gerekli düzenlemeler ve destekler sağlandığında örgütsel ortamda çalışabileceğini göstermektedir.

The Role of Organizational Support in The Employment of Individuals with Autism

Öz:
Although autistic individuals have the capacity to work, they cannot find enough employment opportunities in organizations due to some constraints. The purpose of this study is to examine what arrangements are made to facilitate the employment of autistic individuals. For this purpose, an organization operating in the dairy sector was examined with a case study pattern. The data were collected by examining the documents, project promotion video, autistic study guide, employer guide, recruitment program related to the employees with autism. Also, practices in the production facility where autistic individuals work are observed. As a result of the analysis of the data, the employment reasons of the autistic individuals, and improvements made within the organization to facilitate employment constituted two main themes. The organization's unique characteristics and environmental factors were found to be effective in the employment of autistic individuals. It was observed that the arrangements made within the organization were made in five basic areas: a) occupational health and safety, b) working environment, c) use of assistive technology, d) strengthening social communication and interaction, and e) increasing motivation. The results of the research show that autistic individuals can work in an organizational environment when necessary arrangements and supports are provided.
