Flexibility and Trust – About the Meaning of Trust in Changing Processes

Höhnel, Anne 02 July 2012 (has links)
Fundamental economic and social changes have strongly influenced the conditions under which companies have to operate during the last couple of years. The dynamics of the business environment, which are among other things increasingly forced by the globalization of markets, development of new technologies and subsequently growing competitive pressure, requires that companies adapt to their environment not only reactive, but rather act proactively to exist on the market permanently. This means, that in companies radical change processes are not even uncommon in addition to permanent changes. Regarding the success of any change process it is of vital importance that the concerned employees and departments are involved in the success of the project and cooperate closely. For this reason trust is becoming more and more important in business environment, especially against the backdrop of economic crisis, of mergers, outsourcing, short-time work and job loss. The setup and permanent care of a trustworthy corporate culture, the content of which includes the constructive handling through management of the anxieties and emotions of the employees concerning upcoming changes, finally provides the basis for successful cooperation. Currently there is no scientific consensus about what trust is, how it can be measured, evaluated and influenced. These issues are now being investigated by empirical studies. Thus, the meaning of 'professional' trust was determined by means of a quantitative questionnaire. One aim of the empirical study was to investigate the existence of trust-promoting and trust-inhibitory factors in companies and to generate rankings regarding their importance for the employees. The perceptions should be the basis to build and maintain a reliable culture of trust in companies, especially during the implementation of change processes.:1. Introduction 2.

System Trust through Stable-Flexible System Standards and Participation

Kunze, Matthias, Seeling, Thomas 22 February 2012 (has links)
In today´s flexible working sphere trust takes a central place in relations to customer, supplier and institutions as well as between coworkers and executives. Therefore, co-operation is not thinkable at all without a certain amount of trust. A low amount of trust is not an adequate basis for obtaining quality of living or realization of business success. In the everyday life it is to be also experienced that the structure of trust requires very much time, power, money and patience. The effects, on which an employer has to count with loss of trust by unmotivated and unproductive coworkers, can mean enormous economic damage for the enterprise and entail the loss of a market projection. So trust was determined by means of a quantitative questionnaire. The aim was to investigate the existence of trust promoting and trust inhibiting factors and to generate rankings in regard to their importance.
