Het sociologisch raadsel van de haviken en de duiven

Samenvatting

Factors influencing the choice of Dutch industrial workers to participate in trade union activities are examined. Variables of worker expectation of success, permission to participate in specific activities, & personal risk incurred with involvement were subjected to analyses involving statistical cross-correlation, the multiplicative power function, the linear additive function, & the single peaked preference function. Little variety was observed in the cross-correlation of data, showing most workers to be either very active in union controversies, ie, "hawks," or very disinterested & quiet, ie, "doves." This dichotomy was especially apparent in worker attitudes toward job security. 9 Tables, 4 Figures, 1 Appendix, 6 References. M. Meeks.
