COOK A national sample of college personnel administrators, top administrators, and non-academic employees was conducted in 1972-73 and partially repeated in 1992-93 to discern if any differences in attitudes regarding collective bargaining had taken place. There were three primary content questions taken from the 70s survey and used for the 90s survey. The first requested a rating of procedures used for setting guidelines, rules, and terms of employment. Results showed a mean of 2.2 for both surveys (better than fair but below good). The second question requited an assessment of the negotiation process for terms of employment. The mean shifted (toward participation) from 2.3 ('70s) to 2.8 ('90s). The third question requested assessment of the campus attitude or climate regarding collective bargaining. Attitudes shifted away from strong-anti-bargaining especially when ratings for procedures improved. Participative management appears to be a strong concept influencing collective bargaining attitudes.
