摘要:This research note attempts to present findings from a study that examined the relationship between the way an inhouse union organises itself and its delivery effectiveness. Data were gathered through a survey of union members ofan in-house union of a manufacturing company in Kedah, Malaysia (n = 415) and analysed using correlation andmultiple regression tests. The results suggest that, firstly, union organisation was significantly correlated with unioneffectiveness. Secondly, there were significant relationships between two of the four dimensions of union organisation(namely, communications within union, and union understanding of employer’s business) and union effectiveness.Finally, communication within union was the most important predictor of union effectiveness. The implications of thestudy on practice and theory are discussed
