7、uct of Trust, There exists today, no practical construct of Trust that allows us to design and implement organizational interventions to significantly increase trust levels between people. We all think we know what Trust is from our own experience, but we dont know much about how to improve it. Why

8、I believe it is because we have been taught to look at Trust as if it were a single entity. The Three Constructs of Trust Tway defines trust as the state of readiness for unguarded interaction with someone or something. He developed a model of trust that includes three components. He calls trust a c

9、onstruct because it is constructed of these three components: the capacity for trusting, the perception of competence, and the perception of intentions. Thinking about trust as made up of the interaction and existence of these three components makes trust easier to understand. The capacity for trust

10、ing means that your life experiences have developed your current capacity and willingness to risk trusting others. The perception of competence is made up of your perception of your ability and the ability of others with whom you work in your current situation. The perception of intentions, as defin

11、ed by Tway, is your perception that the actions, words, missions, or decisions are motivated by mutually-serving rather than self-serving motives. Why Trust Is Critical in a Healthy Organization How important is building a trusting work environment According to Tway, people have been interested in t

12、rust since Aristotle. Tway states, Aristotle (384BC-322BC), writing in the Rhetoric, suggested that Ethos, the Trust of a speaker by the listener, was based on the listeners perception of three characteristics of the speaker. Aristotle believed these three characteristics to be the intelligence of t

13、he speaker (correctness of opinions, or competence), the character of the speaker (reliabilitya competence factor, and honestmeasure of intentions), and the goodwill of the speaker (favorable intentions toward the listener). I dont think this has changed much even today. Additional research by Tway

14、and others shows that trust is the basis for much of the environment you want to create in your workplace. Trust is the necessary precursor (先兆) for: -feeling able to rely upon a person, -cooperating with and experiencing teamwork with a group, -taking thoughtful risks, and -experiencing believable

15、communication. How to Maintain Trust The best way to maintain a trusting work environment is to keep from injuring trust in the first place. The integrity of the leadership of the organization is critical. The truthfulness and transparency of the communication with staff is also a critical factor. T

16、he presence of a strong, unifying mission and vision can also promote a trusting environment. Providing information about the rationale, background, and thought processes behind decisions is also an important aspect of maintaining trust. Another is organizational success; people are more apt to trus

17、t their competence, contribution, and direction when part of a successful project or organization. What Injures the Trust Relationship Yet, even in an organization in which trust is a priority, things that can injure trust happen daily. A communication is misunderstood; a customer order is misdirect

18、ed and no one questions an obvious mistake. The owner of a company that went through a bankruptcy, even though trusted on the intentions side of Tways trust model, was severely injured in the eyes of the workforce, in the perceived competence aspects of the model. In the first aspect of the construc

19、t, the capacity for trust, even when organizations do their best, many people are unwilling to trust because of their life experiences. In many workplaces, people are taught to mistrust as they are repeatedly misinformed and misled. The Critical Role of the Leader or Supervisor in Trust Relationship

After surveying the players on 30 teams, he determined that players on successful teams were more likely to trust theAYBNCNG 5.Its hardly news that the immigration system is mess.

21、 Foreign nationals have long been slipping across the border with fake papers, and visitors who arrive in the U.S. legitimately often overstay their legal welcome without being punished.

22、 into their plans. In addition to their mastery of forging passports, at least three of the 19 Sept. 11 hijackers (劫机者) were here on expired visas. Thats been a safe bet until now.

24、tice Department, the State Department and the INS to share more data, which will make it easier to stop watch listed terrorists at the border. But whats really needed, critics say, is even tougher laws and more resources aimed at tightening up border security. Reformers are calling for a rollback of

25、 rules that hinder law enforcement. They also want the INS to hire hundreds more border patrol agents and investigators to keep illegal immigrants out and to track them down once they are here.

28、for next year: a proposal, backed by some influential law-makers, to split the INS into two agencies-a good cop that would tend to service functions like processing citizenship papers and a bad cop that would concentrate on border inspections, deportation and other functions. One reason for the divi

29、sion, supporters say, is that the INS has in recent years become too focused on serving tourists and immigrants. After the Sept. 11 tragedy, the INS should pay more attention to serving the millions of ordinary Americans who rely on the nations border security to protect them from terrorist attacks.
