Abstract
The present study examines the relation between organizational cynicism and trust with specific focus on the employees of the Ataturk Forest Farm. Exploratory factor analysis, t-test and ANOVA tests were used in investigating the relation between organizational cynicism and trust. The sample of the study was determined on the basis of the voluntary participation method and consisted of the employees of 74 production businesses working at the Plant Production Directorate, Milk Factory, and Fruit Juice and Honey Factory of the Ataturk Forest Farm operating in Ankara in 2021. An information sheet including “Organizational Cynicism Scale” and “Organizational Trust Scale” as well as the socio-demographical properties was used in the study as the data collection tool in order to collect the necessary information. Reliability analysis of the organizational cynicism and trust scales was done and the scales were found reliable for this study. After that, according to the results of the exploratory factor analysis conducted with the data collected by the both scales, the organizational cynicism and trust scales were divided into three dimensions each. The relation between organizational cynicism and trust indicated that the first, second and third dimensions of the organizational cynicism had a statistical difference of p<0.10, p<0.05 and p<0.05, respectively from the organizational trust. As a result, no relation was found between organizational cynicism and trust regarding the employees of the Atatürk Forest Farm. The statistical differences as a result of the ANOVA test also confirmed these findings. However, the trust of the employees in their organization, managers and colleagues can be considered in the centre of their hopelessness, negative thoughts and even their sense of belonging. Keywords: Human resource, organization pessimism, employee’s behaviour, labour problems, trust atmosphere, corporate performance.
