Abstract: | In the light of long-standing concern in management regarding the gap that can arise between organizational policy perscriptions and line-management practice, this paper provides insights into the nature and causes of that gap. The analysis focuses particularly on the line manager's role in facilitating the employment security of employees who have contracted serious illness, injuries or disabilities. More specifically, findings are presented from four case-study organizations in the UK, and a number of factors that militate against the ability of line managers to comply with organizational policies on the provision of workplace adjustments and employment security for ill or disabled workers. |
