Abstract
This exploratory article presents surveys of faculty conducted after a vote to unionize at two public universities and self-report correlates of voting behavior. Positive attitudes toward unions and peer preferences for a union are the two largest correlates of voting for a union. Once controlling for these two items, sense of community, sense of autonomy, trust in management, work environment, self-efficacy, equity sensitivity, and attitudes toward pay for performance had no effect. Implications and future directions for study are discussed. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License.
