| Abstract | A study investigated the perceptions of the work environment among 4,981 permanent non-instructional staff at a midwestern research university, to determine whether union and non-union workers have significantly different perceptions. The survey instrument consisted of 190 items representing 13 categories of quality work environment, and two open-ended questions. The most common group of comments by both groups concerned lack of leadership skills on the supervisor's part. About half of each group found co-workers supportive and good to work with. Union members were more likely than non-union members to see a lack of teamwork or cohesiveness within the immediate work unit. However, more non-union staff saw a fear of change in the work setting, with perpetuation of the status quo. Overall, it is concluded that union-affiliated staff perceived the culture, philosophy, climate, and outcomes of their work environment more negatively than non-union staff. A 49-item bibliography is included and some data analyses are appended. (MSE) |
