A Theory Of Current Interest

It is said that trust is the basis of all human connections, from accidental encounters to close relationships. Trust directs all of the interactions that we have with each other. Jeffrey A. Simpson writes, “Trust involves the juxtaposition of people's loftiest hopes and aspirations with their deepest worries and fears” (1). The human ability for trust and trusting is not measured out on an equal basis. Some people are able to trust easier than others and are better at being trustworthy and judging other’s credibility.

In this book, trust is defined as “one’s willingness to be vulnerable to another based on the confidence that the other is benevolent, honest, open, reliable, and competent.” (page xiii) The author recognizes that trust is complex and dynamic. She views trust as the “lubricant” that greases the machinery of the organization. Trust is particularly important where parties are interdependent, or the “interests of one party cannot be achieve without reliance upon another.” In schools “teachers and principals are

The author discusses an example of a bank balance to illustrate this point. A higher bank balance an individual has in a relationship stipulates the fact that trust has been built in the past; therefore they are able to criticize their partner because prior trust has been accrued. Trust can be built in many ways. Someone trustworthy is supportive and communicative, meaning they will be there for an individual in their time of need and are willing to tell an individual the truth (Schwind, 2013). The author points out the trust Wes Kinsley and his wife have due to prior experiences when trust was built by being supportive and communicative. When trying to rekindle and fix their relationship, Wes’ wife is able to criticize him for coming home late often and not caring for their kids. According to the Harvard Business Review, if people trust each other and their leaders, they will be able to work through their disagreements (Galford, 2003). Trust is necessary for marriages to survive, because without trust, disagreements will not be settled. Primarily, because of the trust obtained in Wes Kinsley’s marriage, they are able to work through struggles. Trust can also be extended into the workforce. Kinsley asks his fellow employees to trust him when he brings the new “Whale Done!” methods back to his workplace. Most of his colleagues agree with this new method and find success very quickly, which shows the

Thus, companies seek to strengthen customer loyalty. Brand loyalty is considered to tilt the consumer to purchase the package / product specific brand (Jacoby and Chestnut, 1978). Later, Oliver (1997) defined loyalty as "a deeply held commitment to REBUY or repatronize preferred product / service consistently in the future, thereby causing repetitive same-brand or same brand set purchasing, despite situational influences and marketing activities, which would result in causing switching behavior "(p. 34). This conceptual definition covers two different aspects of loyalty: the behavioral. This is consistent with an integrated conceptual framework proposed by Dick and Basu (1994), that customer loyalty is regarded as a "power relationship between the relative position of the individual and repeat

In the Berg, Dickhaut and McCabe (1995) study, factors that influence the likelihood of trust in economic transactions is a fundamental assumption that individuals act in their own self-interest which is often combined with other assumptions that (1) objects of interest are restricted to personal consumption;

In any position, “one of your first goals should be to gain trust and credibility from colleagues, clients, customers, and other contacts” (Cardon, 2012). Trusting the company you do business with is critical, a company must follow

What exactly is trust and why does it matter? “Trust is one’s willingness to be vulnerable to another based on the confidence that the other is benevolent, honest, open, reliable, and competent” (Tschannen-Moran, 2004, pg. 17). Trust is a word that has numerous definitions based on the word being so difficult to define. I think the author does a great job of helping define what trust is because of the word vulnerable. You have to be willing to be vulnerable to someone if you want to

The entity must place itself in a position of risk and is the (grantor). The beneficiary or recipient of that trust is the (grantee). The basis of the risk is the (grantor) trusting entities’ belief, assurance, and confidence that the entity and beneficiary of the trust (grantee) is truly Benevolent, Dependable, Knowledgeable, Open, and

The third perspective of trust—interpersonal trust—is observed as a social tie between the trustee and the trustor, and is the most common approach to trust (Mayer et al., 1995). This category of trust is defined as the willingness and

As we discussed further Trust & Distrust in Normative View the researcher talks about how the trust & distrust is intellectual across they implement that trust is good and distrust is bad, as distrust is psychological disorder and should be corrected. In socio-psychological and sociological tradition, trust has been necessary in social order and they mainly focus on surfacing and growth. (Axelrod, 1984, Barber 1983, Lewis & Weigert, 1985; Luhmann,1979; Shapiro 1987).

However, while flexibility becoming much more essential for businesses, commitment is still and always the backbone for any businesses. Although, some business professionals still argue commitment is almost impossible in many cases where, especially, the targeted areas contain lack of predictability and tremendous uncertainties, recent success stories from Uber, Tesla and others should provide evidence that reasonable commitment can be preserved by businesses through timely and correctly adjustments in response to actual situations. In my view, commitement is the driving force for business developments and progressions, and

While loyalty is not easily quantifiable, and thus does not show up in a corporate ledger, it will affect the company’s overall performance.” Because trust is a vital part of loyalty, it follows that creating trust amongst employees by treating them respectfully is likely to result in improved company performance and efficiency. This once again provides a quantifiable measure for trust in a capitalist economy.

Organizational commitment is one of the most investigated areas of study. Colakoglu, Culha and Atay (2010) state that increasing interests of various disciplines, such as sociology, psychology and behavioural sciences on organizational commitment, and examining organizational commitment by researchers in the field, both cause one’s own perspective to take different definitions into account. However, the view of commitment is that it can influence individual actions independent of other factors. Cetin (2006) outlines that organizational commitment means one’s devotion to his/her occupation, it requires the purpose of the occupation, belief in the values of the occupation and acceptance of them; and showing an effort to survive in his/her occupation and membership. Herrbach (2006) found that organizational commitment can lead to persistence in a course of action even in the face of conflicting motives or attitudes, and may even lead individuals to behave in ways that, from the perspective of neutral observers, might seem contrary to their own self-interest.
