- Title
An experimental investigation into judgment and behavioral implications of disability-based stereotypes in simulated work decisions: Evidence of shifting standards.

- Abstract
We investigated the explanatory relevance of the shifting standards model to the role of employee disability in two simulated organizational processes: (a) job performance appraisal and (b) resource allocation. Two experimental studies found evidence of the shifting standards effect-employees with and without a disability received similar ratings when subjective judgment standards were employed, but those without a disability received significantly higher performance ratings than their counterparts with a disability when rated with objective standards. Furthermore, the analysis of the ranking process on the dimension of deservingness of limited resources yielded evidence that disability-related stereotypes can differentially affect perceptions of deservingness through the allocation of organizational resources.
