DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof. Daniela Lup\, Associate Professor of Human Res
 ources Management and Organisational Behaviour\, ESCP Europe\n\nAbstract
 : \nTo increase workforce diversity organizations depend to a great exte
 nt on the willingness of current employees to facilitate the recruitment
  of atypical applicants. In this context\, referral hiring can play an i
 mportant role because it increases the chance that atypical candidates w
 ith the right qualifications and skills apply\, are interviewed and offe
 red a job. Although existing literature shows that referral hiring is be
 neficial for both job candidates and organizations\, it says little abou
 t current employees’ willingness to refer candidates with a disability. 
 Using a vignette based experiment\, I investigate individuals’ willingne
 ss to refer candidates with a disability and a set of conditions under w
 hich organizational members are more/less likely to refer such candidate
 s. Results show that the likelihood of referring a candidate decreases s
 ignificantly once a prospective referrer learns that the candidate has s
 ome atypical features but does not know that the candidate has a disabil
 ity. Knowing that the candidate was diagnosed with a disability only sli
 ghtly attenuates this effect. A content analysis of the reasons behind e
 ach decision reveals a complex mix of concerns that affect referrers’ wi
 llingness to support candidates with a disability to gain employment in 
 the organization.\n\nTea/coffee and cakes from 2.45.\n\nJoin us for this
  event\, which is part of the CMI Afternoon Seminar Series.  All welcome
 .  No registration necessary.\n\nThe Cathie Marsh Institute for Social R
 esearch (CMI) provides a focal point at The University of Manchester for
  the application of quantitative methods in interdisciplinary social sci
 ence research in order to generate a world class research environment.\n
