Perceived support in a dual organizational environment: Union participation in a university setting
研究大学教师对工会和行政部门的感知支持如何影响工会参与，发现工会支持感知促进参与，而行政支持感知抑制参与，且主观规范和工会态度起关键作用。
Abstract There is extensive research on employee attitudes regarding employers and unions, but these studies have underemphasized social and affective forces. Most studies also examine attitudes toward either the union or the employer without considering how these attitudes might relate to one another. The present study of faculty ( N = 306) at a large public research university demonstrated that perceptions of union support were positively related to union participation and perceptions of administration support were negatively related to union participation. Subjective norms and general union attitudes were related to perceptions of union support, and subjective norms were related to perceived organizational support. Taken together, an individual's participation in a union recognition effort depends not only on union instrumentality, but also upon social relationships with the union and administration.
