This study was conducted four months after a publishing company's firs
t labor union certification election. A union was defeated by a four-t
o-one margin in one bargaining unit of the organization with 200 suppo
rting-staff manual workers. A random sample of 450 employees, selected
from a cross-section of all workers, was asked to complete a question
naire designed to measure organizational instrumentality and work-rela
ted variables. The results of a step-wise multiple regression based on
295 respondents indicated that organizational instrumentality was rel
ated to employees' perception of job security, extrinsic job satisfact
ion, organization-based self-esteem, low income, Japanese management s
tyle, division in the organization, low desire to change, gender (fema
le), and a low level of consideration.
