Abstract

This article studies how the support workers expect from colleagues for strike participation affects their willingness to participate in a strike. We formulate hypotheses on the effects of anticipated social support for participation as well as anticipated social support for nonparticipation. We include the potentially mediating effect of social identification and the social costs of (non-)participation. We test our hypotheses on survey data of 725 Dutch employees collected in 2010. Using structural equation modeling techniques, we find that the support for participation has a stronger positive effect on the willingness to strike than the support for nonparticipation has on the willingness to strike. In addition, our findings suggest that union membership substitutes the effect of social support of colleagues.

劳工行动中的同伴支持：同事预期的社会支持如何影响罢工意愿

本文研究了支持工作者对同事参与罢工的期望如何影响他们参与罢工的意愿。我们提出了关于预期社会支持对参与的影响以及预期社会支持对于未参与的影响的假设。我们包括社会认同的潜在中介效应和（非）参与的社会成本。我们在2010年收集的725名荷兰员工的调查数据上检验了我们的假设。使用结构方程建模技术，我们发现支持参与对罢工意愿的积极影响比支持不参与对罢工愿意的积极影响更强。此外，我们的研究结果表明，加入工会可以替代同事的社会支持。

期刊介绍： Mobilization: An International Quarterly is the premier journal of research specializing in social movements, protests, insurgencies, revolutions, and other forms of contentious politics. Mobilization was first published in 1996 to fill the need for a scholarly review of research that focused exclusively with social movements, protest and collective action. Mobilization is fully peer-reviewed and widely indexed. A 2003 study, when Mobilization was published semiannually, showed that its citation index rate was 1.286, which placed it among the top ten sociology journals. Today, Mobilization is published four times a year, in March, June, September, and December. The editorial board is composed of thirty internationally recognized scholars from political science, sociology and social psychology. The goal of Mobilization is to provide a forum for global, scholarly dialogue. It is currently distributed to the top international research libraries and read by the most engaged scholars in the field. We hope that through its wide distribution, different research strategies and theoretical/conceptual approaches will be shared among the global community of social movement scholars, encouraging a collaborative process that will further the development of a cumulative social science.
