Abstract: There has been a growth of interest among industrial relations scholars in the functions of union leadership at both national and local levels. This paper presents a survey‐based analysis of the impact of union leaders on member participation in Cypriot public‐sector trade unions. It indicates that active leaders promote participation both directly and indirectly, through their influence on members’ attitudes towards the union. The study emphasizes the importance of leadership in facilitating further understanding of member participation in trade unions.
