Abstract

This study examines the effect of faculty unionism on four dimensions of pay satisfaction and two measures of economic resources. The data were obtained from 295 professors at one union and one nonunion public-funded Ph.D.-granting university in the southeastern United States. Union faculty were more satisfied with their benefits than nonunion faculty. Results indicated that union and nonunion faculty were equally satisfied with pay level, pay structure, and pay raise dimensions of pay satisfaction. Union faculty were also more satisfied with their research support than nonunion faculty, but the union had no effect on the level of faculty satisfaction with travel and summer support.
