We all analyse the factor of
success in organizations. We have our own approaches for analysis of the
success factor. But, we seldom use the trust perspective to analyse the success
of organizations. This is strange considering the fact that some organizations
thrive on trust, while others fall due to distrust. A big organisation falls
because of lack of trust, a small team in an organisation succeeds because of
trust.
Analysing the psychological factors for trust, and distrust in
organizations with linkages to targets/goals of organisation is very important.
This will help in knowing whether an organisation is on the path of success, or
failure. The community-based, or membership-based organizations evoke more
trsut.The chances of success here is more than than centralized, or hierarchal
organizations, which are built on the company principles. The nature, or
structure of an organisation, with linkages to the factor of trust needs to be
explored in depth.
Can we have a measurement index
which can show how much trust is important for success of an organisation? Can
we evaluate our performance, based on this? Can we organize trust-based
workshops/seminars, keeping into account this measurement index? Organisational
dynamics must address these issues.
