People with disabilities, an understudied population in human resource development, are often constructed as deficient and unproductive in the workplace. Such a phenomenon can largely be attributed to ableism, which is intensified by the widespread organizational emphasis on productivity. With the recognition of people with disabilities as political agents, this study examined the discursive practices of employees with disabilities in Deliberately Developmental Organizations (DDOs). DDOs as a research site were purposefully selected given their commitment to employees' continuous learning, growth, and development distinct from productivity as the main organizing principle. The critical discourse analysis of seven employees with disabilities in DDOs revealed two ways in which the participants countered the negative stereotypes associated with them: (a) the participants resisted ableism by openly communicating the scope of their ability, and (b) the participants resisted ableism by stepping outside the category of people with disabilities. These two radical ways in which the participants challenged ableism by drawing upon the empowering discursive resources in DDOs did not have ableism's reproducing effects and therefore illuminates the potential of continuing to research DDOs as a promising alternative organizational space for inclusion. This study expands our knowledge of disability identity in the workplace by highlighting that a DDO culture provides a unique context under which the distinct identity work of employees with disabilities can be observed and theorized.

在刻意发展的组织中抵制能力主义：对残疾员工身份工作的话语分析

残疾人是人力资源开发方面未被充分研究的人群，在工作场所中往往被认为是有缺陷和生产力低下的。这种现象在很大程度上可以归因于能力主义，而这种现象因组织对生产力的广泛重视而加剧。由于承认残疾人是政治代理人，本研究调查了有意发展组织 (DDO) 中残疾员工的话语实践。有目的地选择 DDO 作为研究地点，因为他们致力于员工的持续学习、成长和发展，而不是以生产力为主要组织原则。对 DDO 中七名残疾员工的批判性话语分析揭示了参与者对抗与他们相关的负面刻板印象的两种方式：(a) 参与者通过公开交流他们的能力范围来抵制能力主义，以及 (b) 参与者抵制能力主义通过走出残疾人的范畴。参与者通过利用 DDO 中授权的话语资源来挑战能力主义的这两种激进方式并没有产生能力主义的复制效果，因此阐明了继续研究 DDO 作为一种有前途的包容性替代组织空间的潜力。
