The outcome of this research paper provides an emphasis on the role of trust as a trigger for the turnaround strategy that can influence employees’ behaviour, and hence increase satisfaction levels within the organisation in challenging moments of unstable political environment. The aim of understanding trust in this context, is thus to reduce the incidents of business interruptions and eventually improve business performance. Dimensions of trust were categorised into affect-based and cognition-based trust. Furthermore, two influencing moderators; internal communication within the organisation and organisation commitment among employees; were introduced to explicitly identify the dynamics of the relationship between the dimensions of trust and job satisfaction. The study was completed using a survey conducted in Egypt, during the critical period after the president was ousted and there was a take-over by the military, which caused massive turbulence to the business environment. Data was collected from four different firms operating in different industries. The multiple regression model was able to identify the vital role of cognition-based trust as a dominant trigger for job satisfaction. Moreover, internal communication and organisational commitment were found to moderate the impact on the relationship between dimensions of trust and job satisfaction, and hence are able to stimulate improved job satisfaction, thus improve business performance. / Dissertation (MBA)--University of Pretoria, 2013. / lmgibs2014 / Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) / MBA / Unrestricted

This thesis compares the impact of immigration on the political cultures of the town of High River, Alberta, and the city of Brooks, Alberta, from 1996 until 2012. High River and Brooks are located in southern Alberta, and are home to large meat processing facilities. Both municipalities experienced population growth from 1996 until 2012, but while the immigrant and non-permanent resident population of High River increased by 108.82% from 1996 until 2011, the immigrant and non- permanent resident population of Brooks increased by 368.38% in the same period. Two indicators of political engagement are used, including voting results from provincial elections held in 1997, 2001, 2004, and 2008. In addition, local newspaper publications are reviewed; the High River Times and The Brooks Bulletin are examined for two months preceding a provincial election, during the month of an election, and for one month following an election. Cette thèse fait une comparaison de l'impact de l'immigration sur les cultures politiques de High River, Alberta, et de Brooks, Alberta, entre 1996 et 2012 . High River et Brooks sont situés dans le sud de l'Alberta, et il y a des usines de transformation de la viande dans les deux villes. La population des deux municipalités a augmenté entre 1996 et 2012, mais bien que la population immigrante et de résidents non-permanents de High River ont augmenté de 108,82% entre 1996 et 2011, cette population de Brooks a augmenté de 368,38% dans le même période. Deux indicateurs d'engagement politique sont utilisés, y compris les résultats des élections provinciales tenues en 1997, 2001, 2004, et 2008. En outre, les publications des journaux locaux, le High River Times et The Brooks Bulletin, sont examines deux mois avant une élection provinciale, au cours du mois d'une élection, et pendant un mois après.
