Abstract

We investigate two questions regarding the effect of information on participation in labor strikes: First, how are social identification and trust used as filters for information? Second, we investigate how cross-pressures affect willingness to participate. Using a dataset of 468 union members, we test hypotheses about the relationships between information, identification, trust, and participation with structural equation modeling. Specifically, we find that information from and identification with the union are highly important determinants of participation. Regarding information from management, trust is the most important determinant for preventing workers from participation. We also find a difference between workers who have previous strike experience and those who do not. These findings indicate that workers use different mechanisms for filtering information, depending on the source of information. This is a new discovery in mobilization research.

相信老板还是听工会的?信息、社会认同、信任和罢工参与

我们研究了两个关于信息对参与罢工的影响的问题:第一，社会认同和信任是如何作为信息过滤器的?其次，我们研究了交叉压力对参与意愿的影响。利用468个工会成员的数据集，我们用结构方程模型检验了关于信息、身份、信任和参与之间关系的假设。具体来说，我们发现来自联盟的信息和对联盟的认同是参与的重要决定因素。对于来自管理层的信息，信任是阻止员工参与的最重要的决定因素。我们还发现，有罢工经验的工人和没有罢工经验的工人之间存在差异。这些发现表明，根据信息来源的不同，工人使用不同的机制来过滤信息。这是动员研究中的一个新发现。

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.
