An Investigation of Some Correlates and Predictors of Trust in Two Department of Defense Organizations.
Abstract
This thesis analyzes the relationship between interpersonal trust and other relevant attitudinal variables identified in the management literature. Pearson's coefficient of correlation was used to measure the relationship between trust and group cohesion, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, communications, the perceived supervisor's job performance and job stress. As predicted, trust emerged as being positively related to all of these except for job stress, for which a negative relationship was correctly predicted. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine the importance of the independent variables of participation, organizational commitment, communications, cohensiveness and the six interaction variables of participation/organizational commitment, participation/communications, participation/cohensiveness, communications/organizational commitment and cohensiveness/communications as predictors of the dependent variable of trust.
