| dc.description.abstract | Unions are traditionally different from commercial organizations in various aspects such as historical development, the voluntary of their membership and the sources of power. Consequently, this demands separate scrutiny from that of commercial organization. This study investigated factors that may predict members’ commitment towards their unions. In this respect, this study focused on the relationship between personal factors, union factors, organizational factors and union commitment dimensions (affective attachment and instrumental attachment) among union members in Malaysia. This study also examined the influence of the union sector as a moderator on the relationship between the factors and union commitment. The members were chosen from AUEGCAS (public dissector union) ad NUBE(private sector union). Data was collected from a random sample of 402 members and a survey questionnaire was employed. The findings resulted in partial acceptance of the hypotheses formulated. Factors like positive and negative union beliefs, union satisfaction, and union leadership significantly influenced the union commitment dimension, e.g. affective attachment. While union satisfaction, work beliefs, socialization activities, personal growth, and job autonomy were significant in explaining the variance in instrumental attachment. The findings also showed that sector had significantly moderated the relationships between i) union leadership, monetary benefits, and positive union beliefs with affective attachment among the public union members, and ii) monetary benefits and instrumental attachment among private union members. Based on the research findings, theoretical and practical implications are discussed. Limitations and suggestions for future research are also highlighted. | en_US |
