Abstract

İşyerleri, farklı düşünce yapıları, karakterler ve çalışma tarzlarına sahip bireylerin bir arada bulunduğu ortamlardır. Ancak bu farklılık/çeşitlilik, iş dünyasında bir sorun olarak değil, özgünlük ve zenginlik kaynağı olarak değerlendirilmelidir. Nitekim nöroçeşitli bireyler de otizm, disleksi ve dikkat eksikliği gibi nörolojik farklılıklara sahip olmalarıyla öne çıkmaktadır. Dolayısıyla bu farklılıklar, bir bozukluk olarak değil, insan doğasının zengin ve doğal parçası olarak değerlendirilmelidir. Doğru politikalar ve kapsayıcı bakış açılarıyla desteklendiklerinde ise nöroçeşitli bireyler iş dünyasında yenilikçilik ve rekabet avantajı sağlayabilecek önemli birer fırsat kaynağı olabilirler. Bu doğrultuda çalışma, Türkiye’de nöroçeşitlilik kavramına yönelik atılan ilk akademik adımlardan biri olarak, nöroçeşitli bireylerin iş gücüne katkılarını vurgulamayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada nöroçeşitlilik kavramının tanımı, kapsamı, kuramsal temelleri, akademik literatürdeki yeri ve iş dünyasındaki rolü ayrıntılı olarak incelenmiş ve nöroçeşitli bireylerin insan kaynakları uygulamaları bağlamında nasıl değerlendirilebileceği ele alınmıştır. Nöroçeşitli bireylerin iş yerlerinde bir “maliyet” unsuru olarak değil, “zenginlik” ve “çeşitlilik” kaynağı olarak görülmesi gerektiğine dikkat çekilmiştir. Bunlarla birlikte nöroçeşitli bireylerin iş dünyasında daha görünür hale getirilmesi ve kapsayıcı politikaların hayata geçirilmesinin, bireysel ve örgütsel anlamda önemli kazanımlar sağlayacağı vurgulanmıştır.

Neurodiversity in The Workplace: The Power of Different Minds

Abstract

Workplaces are spaces where individuals with diverse thinking patterns, personalities, and working styles come together. This diversity should be viewed not as a challenge but as a valuable source of originality and enrichment in the business world. Neurodiverse individuals, characterized by neurological differences such as autism, dyslexia, and attention deficit disorders, contribute significantly to this diversity. These differences should not be perceived as disorders but rather as a natural and rich part of human variation. When supported with inclusive policies and strategies, neurodiverse individuals can offer substantial potential for driving innovation and competitive advantage in organizations. This study, one of the first academic steps in Türkiye regarding neurodiversity, aims to highlight the contributions of neurodiverse individuals to the workforce. It examines the definition, scope, theoretical foundations, and presence of neurodiversity in academic literature, along with its implications for the business sector. Furthermore, the study explores how neurodiverse individuals can be evaluated within human resource practices, emphasizing their role as a source of enrichment and diversity rather than a cost factor. The study highlights the importance of enhancing the visibility of neurodiverse individuals in professional settings and implementing inclusive policies to achieve meaningful benefits for both individuals and organizations.
