Abstract
In 22 municipal bus companies, the extent of union members' dual commitment-to their unions and to their employing organizations-covaried with interorganizational differences in labor-management climates. Dual commitment was higher in cooperative climates than in less cooperative ones. The extent of members' participation in the union process moderated this relationship. It was relatively strong for more active participants and relatively weak for the less active. Separate organizational and union commitments also covaried with labor-management relationship climate but in a less monotonic manner than dual commitment did.Keywords
