Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Previous research on the National Labor Relations Board has demonstrated the influence of ideology over final orders issued by the political appointees of the Board. Using original data collected under a National Science Foundation grant (#SES-01794), this paper examines the impact of initial decisions issued by administrative law judges (ALJ) as an alternative source of influence over aggregate Board decision making. The paper examines 2,252 final orders issued by the Board between 1991 - 2007 as a function of the ideology of the members of the Board, the initial decision of the ALJ, external political influences, economic factors, and case characteristics. Partial generalized ordered logit results demonstrate that although ideology plays a role in Board member decision making, reliance on the initial decision of the ALJ is an overwhelming influence on Board outcomes. These results not only demonstrate the importance of the role of the administrative law judge in agency decision making, a government actor that has been previously ignored, but they also bring into question the top down nature of the principal-agent theory that has been used to model agency decision making.
