WPS Module One:
Defining Workplace Culture: Maximizing Integration for Employees with Disabilities.
The objective of this WPS module is to educate students about workplace/organizational culture. Students are presented with Schein’s (1985) three level model of workplace culture including the artifacts and behaviors, values, and beliefs. Incorporating the work of Hagner (2000) students are taught how to identify the artifacts of the workplace when providing job placement and post-employment services so as to optimize a consumer’s successful integration. They also learn about the different types of cultures (e.g. hierarchical versus clan) in relation to the types of artifacts that one may see in these various types of settings. Furthermore, students are taught how to consult with employers about the culture and train consumers on independently identifying the artifacts on their own.
WPS Module Two:
Stages of Socialization: Adjustment Issues in the Workplace
Students learn about the three stages process of socialization that new employees go through starting with the pre-encounter stage, then the encounter stage, and finally the role management stage (Jablin, 1987). Students are taught about the formation of work expectations prior to the first day on the job based on the artifacts gathered from the pre-employment phase (job search, interview process, etc). Then they learn about expectation discrepancies and negotiations that occur between the employer and the employee during the socialization period. Discrepancies often occur between perceived versus actual expectations in relation to the culture, work roles and behaviors, job tasks, etc. (Jablin, 1987). The module illustrates how the level of negotiation and role management can influence whether an employee leaves or stays on the job. To minimize discrepancies, information is provided about realistic job previews with tips on how to consult with employers in using this tool. Lastly, students learn how to assist consumers in managing expectation discrepancies and job roles with respect to all aspects of the job including specific work tasks to organizational norms.
