Unionization Activity as a Function of Employee Job Attitudes, Management Practices and Social-Economic Factors.

Abstract

Aggregate employee attitudes and descriptions were used to predict unionization activity in 177 retail sales stores belonging to the same national organization. No evidence was found for the proposed satisfaction-unionization relationship, but internal organizational practices as described by the employees were correlated with union activity. Variables in the social-legal-economic environment showed inconsistent relationships with unionization. The best predictors of unionization activity were degree of unionization in the state, supervision, store size and satisfaction with job security. (Author)
