To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As Nixon found at Vermont, holding lower organizational status is associated with a desire for bargain- ing. The effect of organizational position, however, may vary between in- stitutions. For example, at Ithaca College, higher academic rank predicts support for bargaining, perhaps as a defensive strategy to preserve their advantages. Like organizational positions, personal individual character- istics also condition desire for unionism. Faculty with liberal political opinions show more intere...st. In a second stage, beyond the direct effects of organizational position or personal background, these factors may act indirectly on desire for bar- gaining through their effect on mediating organizational attitudes such as dissatisfaction with salary or distrust in the administration. At Cornell, for example, low organizational status has a strong indirect influence on the desire for a union through its effect on both distrust in decision making and dissatisfaction with salary. These mediating organizational attitudes logically reflect a process of comparison: dissatisfaction with salary as- sesses current salary against some standard; distrust indicates that organ- izational decisiorte fail to satisfy particular personal interests.
