Determinants of Attitudinal Militancy Among University Faculty

Abstract

The authors investigated several possible determinants of militant attitudes toward the employer-employee relationship among 454 faculty members at one medium-sized state university. 1 Dissatisfaction with several of the job and organiza tional context characteristics (especially with the campus adminis tration) was a significant predictor of militancy, but demographic characteristics (e.g., sex, academic rank, tenure status, academic department, faculty organization membership) had almost no predictive value.
