| Abstract: |
Models of voting behavior in union representation elections have largely been concerned with the relationship between work dissatisfaction and pro-union voting and post-hoc analyses of election outcomes. A comprehensive model of union voting behavior should account for the reasons why employees vote for unions and also why they vote against unions in both certification and decertification elections. A model is developed which incorporates some variables not previously given prominence in the literature and some testable propositions are derived. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
