The relationship of seniority to job performance following reinstatement

Article Abstract:

Previous studies of job performance after reinstatement have shown contradictory results with reference to seniority status. By combining results statistically from several studies, it was determined that more senior personnel who were exonerated and reinstated performed at higher levels that junior exonerated and reinstated employees. However, the findings are reversed if exoneration does not accompany reinstatement. With regard to this study, exoneration is dependent upon the findings of a labor arbitration board.

Dual commitment and labor-management relationship climates

Article Abstract:

A study of 22 urban bus companies indicated that dual employee commitment (i.e., commitment to both the company and the union) was strongest in companies with cooperative union-management environments. It was stronger among those employees who were active in union activities, and less strong among those with limited union participation. Dual employee commitment is seen as a phenomenon that is mutually beneficial to the employer and the trade union.

Influence of quality of work life on company and union commitment

Article Abstract:

This study examined changes in union and organizational commitment after the implementation of a joint union-management quality-of-work life (QWL) program. The results indicated that company commitment increased only when participants perceived the QWL effort as successful, but union commitment increased irrespective of the perception of QWL success.
