Arbitrator characteristics and arbitrator decisions

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

This study uses a sample of 459 arbitrators to investigate the effect of arbitrator characteristics on arbitrated decisions in discharge and suspension cases. Little evidence is found of significant relationships between the characteristics of arbitrators and their decisions. The results raise serious doubts about the usefulness of the common labor and management practice of investigating arbitrators’ backgrounds as part of arbitrator selection procedures.
