ORMSBY AND LARRY R. WATTS This study conducted an exploratory investigation of college faculty unionization and its effect on the gender/job satisfaction relationship. The Job Descriptive Index was used to collect data from a representative sample of male and female faculty before and after a successful unionization attempt. The results of hypotheses testing indicated that unionization had no significant effect on summary measures of job satisfaction for either gender. The results also indicated that the level of job satisfaction for male faculty was significantly higher than for female faculty both before and after unionization. The implications of these findings for faculty unions are presented and discussed.
