The effect of experience on faculty attitudes toward collective bargaining: a cross-temporal analysis

Article Abstract:

We used multivariate analysis to investigate the change in the attitudes and expectations of AAUP members in a Midwestern university. Two models were developed to measure faculty attitudes toward the union, at the time of the election and four years after the election. The effect of experience on faculty attitudes toward the union is captured by comparing the results of the two models. Our findings suggest major differences in faculty attitudes and expectations prior to and after the union's arrival. The results of our study have essential policy implications for unions in formulating successful strategies and for faculty in developing realistic expectations of collective bargaining.

Mediation outcomes and sources of impasse: an empirical investigation

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted on the effects of two types of determinants (source of impasse and situational characteristics of the impasse) on the effectiveness of trade union mediation in public sector organizations in Bangladesh. Several sources of impasse for both unions and management were identified, but case settlement could not be accurately predicted by any situational factors.

Work discipline and lay-offs: Is there a trade-off between wages and job security?

Article Abstract:

A model is described of a positive relationship between wages and job security, assuming a heterogeneous distribution of layoff probabilities and work effort as a moral hazard or shirking problem. The efficacy of incentives may be reduced by an increased layoff probability, in which case high wages and job security are positively related.
