Abstract

This study described the perceptions of superintendents and union presidents regarding the degree of integrative and distributive bargaining patterns present in the collective bargaining process. The study established the presence of varying degrees of cooperative bargaining behaviors on 62 individual contract issues as perceived by 255 matched pairs of management and labor respondents. Based on the results of this study, it was concluded (1) that there were differences in the presence and degree of integrative bargaining behaviors as perceived by management and labor; (2) that the demographic characteristics of a school district's geographic location, organizational type, size of student enrollment, and expenditure per pupil had no effect on the kinds of bargaining patterns perceived by management and labor; and (3) that the presence of cooperative bargaining patterns could be identified in Illinois public school districts.
