The Impact of Solidarity or Conflict on Participation in a Labor Union

A study incorporating the resource mobilization theory of social movement, the solidarity hypothesis and the interinstitutional competition hypothesis in a five percent random sample test of the Tennessee State Employees' Association. Chun demonstrates that the solidarity effect varies with individual's religious affiliation and gender (the liberal church is a context for union solidarity but not conservative congregations) and extra union organizations constitute a social context in which people are socialized into organizational life. The volume is a Ph.D. dissertation, Venderbilt University, 1992, revised with a new preface and index. Includes statistical tables. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
