This study examines the relationship between university faculty and administrator attitudes toward collective bargaining in terms of their view of the goals and the functions of the university. The faculty and administrators in a single, large, multipurpose state university were sampled to provide three test groups: administrators, faculty with favorable attitudes toward collective negotiations, and faculty with unfavorable attitudes toward collective negotiations. The three test groups were compared on the basis of their perception of the importance the institution accorded goals and the emphasis given to institutional functions. The findings indicated that faculty with favorable attitudes toward collective negotiations differed significantly from other test groups in their perception of the importance the institution accorded goals and functions.
