Abstract
In this paper a model is proposed
for effect of union leadership on
union member attitude formation
which in turn leads to union member
participation. This effect is
being explored in further detail
through mediation of human
drives. Two pathways for union
participation are proposed such
that transactional leadership
forms the attitude towards union
instrumentality through activation
of ‘drive to acquire’ and
‘drive to defend’ and transformational
leadership leads to the
union commitment through activation
of ‘drive to bond’ and
‘drive to comprehend’, and finally
both leads to union participation.
It is proposed that the
effect of both leadership styles
is moderated by favorable industrial
relations climate.
