This study examines the relationship between union and organizational
commitment among a sample of 1167 railroad employees from four of the
seven largest Class I railroads in the U.S. Specifically, the study so
ught to determine whether union commitment and organizational commitme
nt were contradictory, independent, or complementary forms of commitme
nt. An examination of the association between union and organizational
commitment on a variety of employee attitudes and work-related percep
tions revealed the two forms of commitment to be independent. Results
are discussed in light of the literature and the implications of each
form of commitment on the rail industry. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd
