Correlates of Voting Behavior in a Union Decertification Election

Abstract

The article presents a study pertaining to the relationship between selected demographic and attitudinal variables and employee voting behavior in a union decertification election. The study was conducted at a public university in the southeastern U.S. The study results revealed that a positive attitude toward unions is strongly correlated with pro-union voting behavior. These findings support previous studies concerning voting behavior. No significant relationship was evident between salary and reported voting behavior.
