| description | Objective: This research seeks to identify job characteristics and
workplace policies conducive to the job success of individuals with bipolar
disorder, and to examine the interactions between employers and bipolar
employees regarding requested workplace accommodations.
Participants: The study population consists of 39 adults who were in outpatient care and
diagnosed with bipolar I or II disorder.
Methods: Each participant
completed a mail-in questionnaire regarding workplace characteristics that
would enhance job performance.
Results: Primary beneficial work
characteristics reported are schedule flexibility, autonomy, and supervisor
willingness to provide accommodations. Specific helpful characteristics noted
by participants include allowances for working at home, leaves of absence,
frequent breaks, barriers between work spaces, control over goal-setting,
creativity, and avoidance of jobs with pace set by machinery. Twelve of the 26
workers requested workplace changes, and of the 12 requests, 10 were
implemented. Incidents of employer bias were reported.
Conclusion: The experiences of the survey participants regarding beneficial workplace
accommodations may help to improve the productivity and well-being of other
individuals with bipolar disorder. |
