The benefits of work accommodation and the role of
supervisors’ are well established, yet little is known about
the factors that influence supervisor decisions regarding
accommodated work. Leadership qualities are among those
highly valued in supervisors who facilitate an early RTW
process [15]. Supervisor leadership qualities are associated with early RTW, successful adjustment to work, and an
overall feeling of satisfaction about work [16]. Effective
supervisor leadership is associated with fewer long-term
sickness absence days [17]. Yet, the association between
supervisor leadership and the likelihood that workplace
accommodation will be offered remains unknown.
