Unionization and Perceived Control among Community College Faculty
Linville, Joann E.; Antony, James Soto; Hayden, Ruby A.
Community College Journal of Research and Practice, v35 n4 p330-351 2011
The research reported in this paper examined what role working in a union or nonunion college has in influencing faculty perceptions of control over their work. Using data from the 1993, 1999, and 2004 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty, this study explored the relative importance of variables in influencing perceived control among full-time teaching faculty in unionized and nonunionized community colleges. Union status was not found to be predictive of perceived control. (Contains 2 tables and 2 figures.)
