Abstract
This paper examines unionization
as a subset of collective action.
It is an attempt to reappraise
Klandermans’ model of union
participation. The three theories
stated by Klandermans’ to explain
union participation namely
the frustration aggression, the
rational choice and the
interactionist theories are
claimed to be limited in their application
when viewed in isolation.
The historical, cultural, social,
economic and political environments
the individual is embedded
in are also instrumental
in determining union participation.
Limitations and implications
for future research are discussed.
