Abstract: | It is argued in this paper that the traditional employment relationship based on long-term commitment and reciprocity has been replaced by one incorporating a high level of precariousness and that individuals form perceptions (here as: percts.) of their trust in the organization (here as: org./orgs.) based on their view of the psychological contract. A model of these percts. is developed with six propositions (here as: props.) about an individual's level of trust in the org., management and fellow workers and their belief that their expectations will be progressively met and that they will be compensated for their contribution. These percts. and props. have profound ramifications for the willingness of individuals to converse and potentially to share their knowledge with others for the benefit of the organization. |
