Abstract: Leadership in Muslim cultures is underrepresented and relevant research is called for as a top priority area by scholars [1].

This research aims to investigate the current state of provision of disability awareness training to employees by the property management companies in Hong Kong. With the findings of a structured questionnaire survey and two in-depth interviews, the research reveals that the provision of disability awareness training remains at a low level. Besides, local property management companies are not prepared for disability inclusion in their premises. Recommendations then follow.
