“…Further, this has been true for a number of years. For example, a study by Miller and Rosen (1957) over fifty years ago found that the most important determinant of whether union members were satisfied with their stewards was the stewards' performance in the grievance‐handling area. Schuler and Robertson (1983) surveyed eighty‐six shop stewards to determine how they allocated their time.…”

The decline of unions in the U.S. is a salient issue for workers, and a number of studies have demonstrated the relationships between worker attitudes and unionization. The vast majority of this research pertains to workers' attitudes toward the union as an organization, but little has examined workers attitudes to the union officials who are closest to them on a daily basis. As unions strive to maintain membership and support, research that addresses correlates of union members' satisfaction with their work‐site union representatives is needed. This study investigates factors associated with teachers' assessment of the adequacy of the support they receive from their building union representatives. Study results show that teachers' satisfaction with leadership communication, board of education practices, staff support, school pride, parent involvement, and the lack of gossip among employees are all associated with teachers' rating of the support they receive from their building union representatives. Implications for the selection and preparation of work‐site union representatives are discussed.

This paper develops and tests hypotheses concerning some psychological correlates of role ambiguity and role conflict in a population that has not been extensively studied in relation to stress, union stewards. Survey data on role ambiguity and role conflict, the indicators of stress, were collected from 285 stewards at the local union steward meeting, with the stewards perceiving a moderate amount of role ambiguity and perceiving a lesser amount of role conflict. The stewards were also asked about their role expectations, their motivations for remaining a steward, their grievance handling strategies, and their affective commitment toward the union and employer. Each of those four sets of variables was hypothesized to be related to role ambiguity and role conflict and each was influential in explaining variance. As predicted, those stewards who were more motivated to remain stewards for personal reasons had both higher role ambiguity and higher role conflict. Further, the conditions of being more motivated to remain a steward to help the union and employees and having higher union commitment were associated with lower role conflict, but, opposite to the hypotheses, higher role ambiguity.
