摘要：The purpose of this study is to determine the similarities between models of dueprocess developed in the industrial relations and organizational behavior/psychologyliteratures in order to develop a framework of due process for discipline. The authorsobtained special access to a historical (1949-1958) Ford Motor employee data set (1,080grievances involving 334 employees) thru Wayne State University’s Walter P. Reutherlibrary’s special collections in labor archives. An empirical test on this data set wasconducted assessing the impact of several factors on the severity of discipline. Thepropositions containing these factors include that the prior discipline record of a grievantaffects the severity of the current discipline; that the more skilled the grievant, the lesssevere the discipline; that the more senior the grievant, the less severe the discipline; andthat union politics affect discipline and discharge grievance outcomes. The findingssupport all the propositions save that concerning seniority due mainly to a lack of senioritydata.
