This study examined manager attitudes toward persons with disabilities and its impact on hiring decisions. A within-subject survey design was administered to participants employed with a major corporation located in the Midwest. Survey packets were mailed to participants and included a Demographic Information Sheet, Manager Survey-A (adapted version of Antonak's SADP, 1981), and Manager Survey-B (researcher-designed survey). Ninety-seven participants were recruited for this study, which yielded a return of 61 responses. A Pearson Product-Moment Correlation was computed for surveys A and B. A significant correlation between the two measures was found (r = .32, p = <.05). This positive correlation between surveys A and B suggests that the two instruments measure a common variable (attitudes toward persons with disabilities). One item on Manager Survey-A, the dichotomous variable addressing have you ever personally hired a person with a disability, was correlated with another item, stronger laws to prevent employers from discriminating against people with disabilities should be passed, indicating a significant correlation (r = .27 p. = .042). This finding suggests that those managers who favor stronger laws have a tendency not to have had the experience of hiring persons with disabilities. One of the items on Manager Survey-B, have you ever personally hired a person with a disability, was correlated with two other items on Manager Survey-B, I am familiar with Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (r = -.38 p = .003) and, I am familiar with the types of support available for employers who hire persons with disabilities (r = -.28 p = .036). This suggests that managers who are familiar with the ADA and managers who say they are familiar with the types of support available for persons with disabilities have a tendency not to have had the experience of hiring persons with disabilities.Subjects--Topical Terms:
