| Abstract: | The antecedent and outcome models for all four factors of union commitment - loyalty to the union, responsibility to the union, willingness to work for the union and belief in unionism - are examined. A hypothesis that union commitment would act as an intervening variable between the antecedents and outcomes was also tested. Unionized employees (n=481) from a large mid-western communications company completed a survey. Significant antecedents for union commitment were identified. All of the outcomes in the study, both behavioural (attendance of meetings, voting activity etc.) and attitudinal were related to at least one of the four factors. The original hypothesis was supported by this study. |
