om fackligt förtroendevaldas psykosociala arbetsmiljö
The two swedish unions, Akademikerförbundet SSR and Kommunal, have a majority of female participations who mainly work in the public services. The difference between the unions is that one of them only represents members with academic educations and the other has members with lower educations. The aim of this study was to compare the two unions according to the terms exit, voice and loyalty, but also participation and influence. There were 142 participants in this study and 8 participants were interviewed in a pre-study. The result of the study shows that voice is a strong predictor to wellbeing in work life. Influence has the same effect in wellbeing and it is clear that individuals with academic education has a higher degree of influence in the workplace. Although there was a tendency for participants with higher education to have a lower degree of wellbeing. Exit was found to have negative correlation with wellbeing.
