The consequences of dual and unilateral commitment to the organisation and union
研究英国国家医疗服务信托机构中工会成员对组织和工会的承诺模式及其后果,发现感知劳资关系积极者更可能双重承诺,而单方承诺工会者更可能表现出帮助同事的公民行为。
This article examines the pattern and consequences of commitment to organisation and union amongst union members in a UK National Health Service Trust. Those who perceived the industrial relations climate as positive were more likely to be dually committed to both organisation and union. As anticipated, union commitment predicted union citizenship behaviours and intent to quit the union. However, organisational commitment predicted intent to quit the organisation but not organisational citizenship behaviour, which was predicted by union commitment. Findings suggest that those with a unilateral commitment to the union are more likely than the dually committed to engage in citizenship behaviours aimed at helping fellow members and colleagues, perhaps because they feel unconstrained by any strong loyalty to the organisation.
