Relations Between Dimensions of Organizational Trust and Activities Strengthening the Value of Enterprises
Abstract
Theoretical background: Contemporary enterprises functioning in conditions of international competition search for factors that help the growth of their value on the market. One of these may become trust as it is based on shaping the skills of interpersonal cooperation within employee groups and organizations with the aim of the realization of common interests.
Purpose of the article: The aim of this paper is the identification of relations between organizational trust and activities that have an impact on the growth of value of enterprises on the market.
Research methods: In our research, a singular survey method on an unweighted sample was applied with the aid of the following mixed techniques: CATI phone survey and CAWI Internet survey. The sampling frame was a database of 500 of the largest companies in Poland (according to the ranking of the portal of Rzeczpospolita newspaper). On the basis of the method of random selection, a research sample which consisted of 179 enterprises was built.
Main findings: As a result of the research conducted, the factors of the growth in value of enterprises on the market were identified. The impact of the attributes of organizational trust on the growth of the value of the analysed enterprises was indicated, in which incidentally the most significant impact occurred in the case of trust between employees, while subsequently trust towards the organization and trust towards the department heads. The attributes of organizational trust significantly influence the enhancement of the resources of an enterprise, while also the implementation of new technologies, the emergence of new investments and the increased client portfolio. However, no significant impact was indicated in terms of the growth of R&D activities, nor an increase in the level of competitiveness of enterprises on the local market, nor an increased intensification of activities on the market. The research findings provide knowledge on the subject of the use of the attributes of organizational trust in terms of creating value on the market, which may help an organizational culture based on trust in enterprises.
