Youknowwhenyouhavetrust;youknowwhenyoudon'thavetrust.Yet,whatistrustandhowistrustusefullydefinedfortheworkplace?Canyoubuildtrustwhenitdoesn'texist?Howdoyoumaintainandbuilduponthetrustyoumaycurrentlyhaveinyourworkplace?Theseareimportantquestionsfortoday'srapidlychangingworld.

AccordingtoDr.DuaneC.Tway,Jr.inhis1993dissertation,AConstructofTrust,"Thereexiststoday,nopracticalconstructofTrustthatallowsustodesignandimplementorganizationalinterventionstosignificantlyincreasetrustlevelsbetweenpeople.WeallthinkweknowwhatTrustisfromourownexperience,butwedon'tknowmuchabouthowtoimproveit.Why?IbelieveitisbecausewehavebeentaughttolookatTrustasifitwereasingleentity."

WhyTrustIsCriticalinaHealthyOrganization?

Howimportantisbuildingatrustingworkenvironment?AccordingtoTway,peoplehavebeeninterestedintrustsinceAristotle.Twaystates,"Aristotle(384BC-322BC),writingintheRhetoric,suggestedthatEthos,theTrustofaspeakerbythelistener,wasbasedonthelistener'sperceptionofthreecharacteristicsofthespeaker.Aristotlebelievedthesethreecharacteristicstobetheintelligenceofthespeaker(correctnessofopinions,orcompeten'ce),thecharacterofthespeaker(reliability--acompetencefactor,andhonest--measureofintentions),andthegoodwillofthespeaker(favorableintentionstowardthelistener).Idon'tthinkthishaschangedmucheventoday."
