Abstract:
This study explores the relationship between various predicators of
Union Participation namely; Union Loyalty, Union Instrumentality,
Union Commitment and Union Equity on employees’ willingness to
participate in union activities. A structured questionnaire was
distributed among randomly selected sample of 60 non-executive
employees from the total population of 200 non-executive employees in
three highly unionized estates. These estates were selected from three
large scale plantation companies in Sri Lanka. It was assumed that
there is no significant difference of opinions of the employees in
different estates in the same company since there is only one union for
all the nonexecutive employees in all the three companies. The
statistical results of the study revealed that Union Loyalty, Union
Instrumentality, Union Commitment and Union Equity were positively
associated with Union Participation.
