Labor Movements and Unions Job Satisfaction and Organizational Behavior Conflict Management and Negotiation

Abstract

Predictors of the propensity of union members to strike were examined by administering questionnaires to a group of 44 unionized university technologists and technicians in Canada. After union tenure was statistically controlled, union loyalty predicted strike propensity and inter-role conflict moderated this effect: Specifically, the relationship between union loyalty and strike propensity was significantly higher when inter-role conflict was low. Suggestions for future research on union commitment and on strike propensity are offered, and practical suggestions for enhancing union participation are identified.
