A new study of 441 workers with disabilities reveals that a supervisor's genuine support can meaningfully improve employee performance — but only when the surrounding culture allows it. The research, published in the International Journal of Business Innovation and Research, traces the pathways through which trust between manager and employee translates into real outcomes, while also naming the forces that quietly undo that trust. It is a reminder that inclusion is not a virtue individuals can practice alone; it is a condition that organizations must build and protect.
