PREEMPLOYMENT PREDICTORS OF UNION ATTITUDES - REPLICATION AND EXTENSION

The authors replicated and extended J. Barling, E. Kelloway, and E. Bremermann's (1991) model of family socialization of union attitudes on the basis of data from 87 students and their parents. Students' union attitudes were predicted by students' Marxist work beliefs and their perceptions of parental union attitudes. Students' perceptions of parental union attitudes and participation were predicted from parents' self-reported attitudes and participation. Students' Marxist work beliefs were not related to parents' work beliefs.
