Fusilier John G. Williams College of Business, Northwestern State University of Louisiana The extent of ADA awareness and knowledge was investigated using a sample of 150 personnel/human resource managers from both the public and private sectors. Virtually no empirical research to date has addressed employer knowledge of the law. A previously developed questionnaire was used to compute scores bearing on the extent of respondents' ADA knowledge. Results revealed an average correct score of 89.9 percent. This suggests a high level of awareness and knowledge among the managers studied. Demographic variables did not appear to be related to level of ADA knowledge. The role of managers' knowledge in influencing compliance with the law is discussed.
