5hypotheses concerning the relation of grievance submission to nature and setting of work activity were tested. The hypotheses were that a particular plant has no effect on grievance submission, number of grievances submitted has no relation to nature of work, number of grievances "won" has no relation to nature of work, grievance goals do not vary by nature of work, rate of grievance submission is not related to nature of work. Results showed grievance submission does vary by plant and certain work groups won more grievances. The other 3 hypotheses were not supported. However, an overall tabulation of grievance activity makes all results somewhat tenuous. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
