Union Performance and Union Loyalty: The Role of Perceived Steward Support1

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of union performance on union loyalty. The moderator effect of perceived steward support was also investigated. Data were collected in 1988 and 1989 in two locals of a national tire and rubber manufacturing company. Parallel multiple regression analyses were conducted for the two samples. In both samples, the results support the hypothesized positive relationship between union performance and union loyalty but the interaction between union performance and steward support was not significant. However, there was a significant positive relationship between steward support and union loyalty in each sample. Additional research on the roles of the steward may clarify member assessment of the union.
