Determinants of Faculty Voting Behavior in Union Representation Elections: A Multivariate Model
研究整合了多视角因素构建教师工会投票行为模型，基于三所高校数据发现工作环境、社会政治信念、对工会的态度、工会工具性感知和薪酬是主要决定因素，其中工会工具性感知影响最大。
A model of faculty unionism that integrates a diverse set of factors representing various perspectives on voting behavior in unionization drives was developed. This model was then tested using data obtained from faculty in three institutions of higher education simultaneously undergoing collective bargaining elections. The study results suggest that work context, socio-political beliefs, general attitudes toward unions, perceptions of union instrumentality at one’s own workplace, and pay are strong determinants of faculty voting behavior. Union instrumentality perception was the single largest determinant of the vote. The model had strong predictive power.
