The article presents study that is designed to ascertain which attitudinal and structural factors influence white-collar workers to form positive attitudes toward and/or to join unions. The general consensus in the literature is that favorable attitudes toward unionism are a function of job dissatisfaction. Dissatisfaction may be with the job as a whole, specific job factors and/or various socio-cultural conditions. Dissatisfaction with life accomplishments, political liberalism, previous contact with unions and job insecurity are other factors found to be related to a tendency to join unions. Thus, the acceptance of an office union seems to be related to a worker's belief that the union will help ameliorate some undesirable working conditions or help him to achieve a desired goal. There is some evidence that the more satisfied employees prefer to join an employee association while the most dissatisfied prefer a union. A worker may be reluctant to join a union because he feels that it may interfere with his chances for advancement based upon individual initiative, skill and ability. Negative attitudes have been found to be a function of class identification, management identification, position and job level.
