The document summarizes Aziz Bakay's dissertation defense literature review on the phenomenon of trust in organizational contexts. It discusses key concepts around trust attributes, bases, and foci. It also reviews literature on the importance of context and cultural differences. The methodology section outlines the theoretical model, measures, control variables, data collection process, and statistical analysis plan using partial least squares. The results section presents an overview of findings from estimating path coefficients and comparing the US and Turkey samples. The discussion considers relationships between variables and differences across samples. Limitations and opportunities for future research are also noted.

GENERAL MODEL MEASUREMENT
MEAN COMPARISON
ELEMENTS MODEL
• Mean comparisons within and across samples
• T-test (non-matching sample & unequal variance)
• Assumptions: Random sampling, normal distribution and equal variance of two
samples (Park, 2009). Shapiro-Wilk normality test
• Trust variables have higher means in the US compared to Turkey.
• Trust in peers & supervisor highest in the US, supervisor alone highest in
Turkey 16

COMMITMENT
• “the emotional closeness aroused by management’s genuine care and
consideration” (Yang, 2005, p. 137)
• Top management’s treatment of their employees, (i.e. emphasizing the
importance of employee) can be considered social exchange.

35. DISCUSSION
Warped and Linear Relationships
AFFECTIVE
JOB PERFORMANCE JOB SATISFACTION
COMMITMENT
• Interdependency among peers can translate to existence of teams
• High trust & low monitoring, team performance suffers (Langfred, 2004)
• Deductive reasoning
• Turkey: Termination of employment and Uncertainty Avoidance

Trust in Peers in the US Sample – Trust in Top Mgmt in TURKEY Sample
36. DISCUSSION
Warped and Linear Relationships
AFFECTIVE
JOB PERFORMANCE JOB SATISFACTION
COMMITMENT
• Turkey: Highest trust is in supervisor, however there is limited social
exchange between the employee and the supervisor. Power Distance
• Higher authorities may mean higher vulnerability therefore impact is
observed from organizational members with higher levels (Yang, 2005).

Trust in Supervisor in the US Sample – Trust in Top Mgmt in TURKEY Sample
37. CONCLUSION
• Dispositional trust is a strong predictor of trust.
• Trust holds its importance in organizations supporting the Social exchange
• New evidence for normative point of view
• Similarities and differences across samples
• Social exchange vs. economic exchange
• Team effect
37
38. LIMITATIONS AND FUTURE RESERACH
• Nature of relationship between trust variables and outcomes (Dirks,
1999)
• Main effects / moderating / mediating effects
• Sample homogeneity – Simpson’s paradox
• Relationship among outcome variables (Tett & Meyer, 1993)
• Affective commitment and Intention to Turnover Job Satisfaction
• Self-reported data (Vandenabeele, 2009)
• Longitudinal analysis to test causality
• Specific measurement for “trust in supervisor” (Wat & Shaffer, 2005)
• Referent specific factors (i.e. supervisor tenure)

Notes de l'éditeur
Steps involved: interaction, communication, expectations, and obligation
Size of the organization Meyer and Allen (1997) of “broader “roles” that require a greater variety of skills and ability to adapt to the demands of situation” (p. 5). Higher complexity, higher job requirements, organization commits more resources (i.e. training). Reciprocity perspective.
Social exchange theory acknowledges that “only social exchange tends to engender feelings of personal obligations, gratitude, and trust; purely economic exchange as such does not” (Blau, 1964, p. 94) intention to turnover may not be a function of the actual trust in organizational members which is characterized by a process of give and take behavior among organizational members. Intention to turnover could be explained as a function of economic exchange.
