Abstract
AbstractData were collected from union and non-union teachers in a northern Indiana school responding to The Purdue Teacher Opinionaire. Two factor analyses of variance revealed that non-union teachers had significantly (P > .05) higher morale for the Teacher Salary factor, Teacher Status factor, and Total Morale. While these differences may have been functions of sex rather than membership, a significant interaction (P > .05) suggested that the membership variable could not be ruled out.Other significant (P > .05) interactions revealed that younger, lower salaried, non-tenure, lesser-experienced union teachers had higher morale than older, higher salaried, tenure, most-experienced union teachers while the opposite was found for non-union teachers. The younger union teachers and the older non-union teachers had equally high morale.
