Tillit och engagemang i organisationer


Previous research has shown that there is a relationship between trust and organizational commitment. Our research questions were if the three trust-variables ability, benevolence and integrity predict organizational commitment differently. Further we examined if the length of employment affected the relationship between benevolence and organizational commitment. Due to the fact that past studies has shown that benevolence develop during a longer period of time than do the other trust-variables. We made a survey using questionnaires (n=50) in a ?caretaking facility? and using a multiple regression analysis we found that ability was a significant predictor (p=0.032) for organizational commitment. The result of a partial correlation test showed that the length of employment did not affect the relationship between benevolence and organizational commitment. Finally we discussed reasons why ability was the only predictor that could explain organizational commitment in this study.
