Abstract

This study presents data on the union commitment and job satisfaction of a sample of unionized engineers and then, to provide a basis of comparison, similar data on a sample of unionized technicians and a sample of nonprofessional white-collar workers — all employed by the same organization. The engineers and technicians did not differ markedly in union commitment or job satisfaction, but the engineers expressed greater union commitment than did the nonprofessional workers. The correlation in all three samples between satisfaction with the union and satisfaction with management provides support for the concept of dual allegiance.
