After the Labor Union Act revision in June 2010, teachers may legally form teachers’ unions. However in a county or city, the participation rate of teachers’ unions must be higher than 50% to be legally qualified with negotiating rights. Most studies on teachers’ unions focused on potential forthcoming problems while the factors affecting teachers’ inclination towards participating teachers’ unions were less investigated. The present study uses the 2008 full-time teachers’ census data in Taitung and conducts a path analysis on the influence mechanism of teachers’ inclination to participate in organizations. The major findings are: (1) 20.8% of teachers in Taitung show inclination to participate in teachers’ unions whereas 42.1% of them incline to join teachers’ associations. (2) Teachers with more than 16 years of service are less inclined to join teachers’ unions than their counterparts with 0-5 years of service; teachers with administrative responsibilities and substitute teachers are less inclined to join teachers’ unions than full-time teachers. (3) The higher the teachers’ resistance consciousness and consciousness of professional autonomy, the higher the inclination to participate in teachers’ unions and associations. (4) Teachers who take director positions are less inclined to join teachers’ unions because they have lower resistance consciousness; substitute teachers show lower inclination to participate in teachers’ unions due to lower consciousness of professional autonomy.
