The Value of Employee Trust During Turbulent Times: Exploring Vigilant Leadership Communication and Employee Psychological Well-Being

ABSTRACT Vigilant leadership communication has emerged as an important strategy to help organizations navigate unexpected change or turbulent times, such as recently experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Vigilant leadership communication is marked by a leader’s preventative focused communication, encouragement of diverse ideas across the organization, alertness to unexpected setbacks, and vigilance for latent opportunities within an organization. This study builds theoretically upon vigilant leadership communication by further conceptualizing potential impacts on employee outcomes, specifically employee psychological well-being. Additionally, this study highlights the importance of trust by proposing a theoretical model in which vigilant leadership communication’s impact on employee’s psychological well-being is fully mediated by employee perceptions of organizational trust and leader trust. Results suggest that effective vigilant leadership communication cannot be successful in a vacuum and that the trust employees have for both the leader and the organization will mediate the relationship between vigilant leadership communication and employee psychological well-being.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ORGANIZATIONAL TRUST AND WHISTLEBLOWING TENDENCY: A STUDY ON HEALTH PROFESSIONALS

Mistakes made in the health sector can have life-threatening negative consequences. In order to reduce these errors and to identify their sources, whistleblowing is used as an important tool. In this study, it is aimed to determine the relationships between the organizational trust perceptions of health professionals and their whistleblowing tendencies. Quantitative research method and quantitative research design were used in the research. The universe of the research consisted of all health professionals working in a training and research hospital providing secondary health care services in Istanbul. Convenience sampling method was preferred in the study. The data were collected via the internet survey technique (using google forms infrastructure). The total number of questionnaires that were evaluated and used in the analysis of the data is 400. SPSS and AMOS package programs were used in the analysis of the data. Descriptive analysis, correlation analysis and structural equation modeling were applied in the research. The mean whistleblowing tendency of the health professionals participating in the study was found to be 3.84±0.51. When examined in terms of sub-dimensions; the official whistleblowing tendency dimension had the highest mean (4.29±0.73) and the lowest mean (2.47±0.92) was the confidential whistleblowing tendency dimension. According to the results of confirmatory factor analysis, it has been determined that there is a positive relationship between the organizational trust perceptions of health professionals and their whistleblowing tendencies, and the organizational trust perceptions of health professionals affect their attitudes towards whistleblowing tendencies in a statistically significant and positive way. This study is important in that health professionals can report negative situations and then reduce the negative situations that may happen due to being a whistleblower and create an organizational trust environment that will turn into a corporate culture.

From Building and Preserving to Eroding Trust: A Multi-level Analysis

Trust is imperative for the successful navigation of strategic change initiatives. So, we ask ourselves the question: How do perceptions of organizational trust (composed of institutional and interpersonal trust) develop over time and what are their interactions during strategic change? We answer this question through a real-time ethnographic analysis of a merger process focusing specifically on trust at multiple levels, between employees, middle and top management and how it interacts with the trust these individuals have in the informal and formal processes of the organization. We unearthed three key processes in the dynamic interplay between levels and types of trust. (Dis)trust obfuscation allowed top management to overcome negative perceptions of employees by foregrounding one figurehead with whom employees build trust whilst backgrounding the other members. Multi-level mirroring in which middle management mirrored the content and emotionality of the communication of top management amplified trust building. Third, integrative elaboration whereby middle management actively helped employees to stay the course whilst top management withdrew from actively engaging with employees. These processes resulted in the trust dynamics to go from building with employees and preserving with middle management to preservation and finally trust erosion. Our findings contribute to the study of trust as a multi-level phenomenon as well as understanding trust dynamics at multiple levels.

EXAMINATION OF TEACHERS' ORGANIZATIONAL TRUST LEVELS ACCORDING TO VARIOUS VARIABLES

Trust is the most basic need after nutrition in human life. The most basic need in business life, which is a part of human life, is trust. Employees should feel safe in their work life. Teachers who develop a sense of confidence can raise successful students. For this reason, it is important to determine teachers' organizational trust perceptions. In this study, first of all, teachers' organizational trust levels were examined. Then, the differentiation of teachers' organizational trust levels according to gender, graduation status, seniority and school-level variables was examined. The research was designed in the scanning model. The “Organizational Trust Scale” developed by Yılmaz (2006) was used to determine teachers' perceptions of organizational trust. The data were analyzed with descriptive analysis, t_test and ANOVA analysis. According to the findings, teachers trust their schools at a high level. Accordingly, teachers' gender, educational status and seniority do not affect their organizational trust perceptions. The school-level variable affects teachers' perceptions of organizational trust. This result shows that teachers working in primary schools have higher organizational trust perceptions. As a result, policies should be developed to improve the organizational trust perceptions of teachers working in secondary and high schools.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0098/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

An investigatory research on organizational trust and its relationship with job satisfaction and psychological contract breach

Trust in the work environment often has been associated with being a positive antecedent to many desirable organizational outcomes. Developing favorable organizational relationships builds trust, which might lead to an increase in job satisfaction and a positive attitude toward honoring psychological contracts. Using a quantitative research design, the present study explored the relationship between organizational trust and the related variables of job satisfaction and psychological contracts. An online survey was administered across various regions of the United States and information from 144 participants was collected. A Pearson’s correlation technique was utilized to analyze the data collected and two significant findings emerged. First, there is a strong positive correlation between organizational trust and psychological contracts (employer obligations). This finding indicates employees who perceive their employer has fulfilled organizational obligations and commitment and honored all psychological contracts, both perceived and implied, have greater perceptions of organizational trust. The second finding showed a positive, moderate relationship exists between organizational trust and job satisfaction. Therefore, increases in organizational trust are associated with increases in job satisfaction and vice versa.

Örgütsel Adalet ve Örgütsel Güvenin İşe Adanmışlık Üzerindeki Etkilerinin Belirlenmesi: Alanya Belediyesi Çalışanları Üzerine Bir Araştırma (Determining the Effects of Organizational Justice and Organizational Trust on Job Engagement: A Study on Alanya Municipality Employees)

Purpose – The main aim of this study is to determine the effects of organizational justice and organizational trust on job engagement. Design/methodology/approach – In the study, the Organizational Justice Scale developed by Niehoff ve Moorman (1993) was used for determining the perception of organizational justice, the Organizational Trust Scale developed by Adams (2004) was used for determining the perception of organizational trust and Job Engagement Scale developed by Schaufeli et al. (2006) was used for determining the perception of job engagement. Reliability, validity, and confirmatory factor analyzes were performed on the data obtained in the study, and the hypotheses were tested with path analysis. Findings – According to the results of the research, it has been observed that interaction justice has a positive effect on the dimensions of trust in the manager, trust in colleagues, and trust in the organization. While procedural fairness has a positive effect on the dimensions of trust in the organization and the manager, it has not seen any effect on the dimension of trust in colleagues. In addition to that, it was concluded that two dimensions of organizational trust, namely the trust in the manager and trust in the organization, had a positive effect on employees' job engagement. Discussion – A significant effect of interaction justice has been observed on all dimensions of organizational trust. The clear and explicit expression of wishes and expectations of managers in their communication with their subordinates are important factors in the formation of organizational trust of employees. It is observed that transactional justice affects trust in the organization and the manager, albeit at a low level. Therefore, it can be inferred that the process of making organizational decisions and declaration of the criteria which are used in this decision making process affect the trust of employees in their organizations and managers. Moreover, according to the research results; it can be interpreted that ensuring the trust in the organization and the manager is an important factor in establishing the engagement of the employees to the job.
