Abstract
CAMBLOR, María-Pilar and ALCOVER, Carlos-María. Integrating distrust antecedents and consequences in organizational life. Rev. psicol. trab. organ. [online]. 2019, vol.35, n.1, pp.17-26. ISSN 2174-0534. https://dx.doi.org/10.5093/jwop2019a3.
This research on the experience of distrust within organizational life is aimed firstly at drawing an integrated framework of distrust antecedents linked to behavioral consequences as perceived by naive people; and, secondly, at comparing differences between two foci, individuals and organizations. A mixed qualitative to quantitative exploratory study uses the Delphi method with 38 participants from diverse countries working for a variety of organizations. Their opinions are classified and quantitatively compared. Antecedents depict a broader map than classical trust/distrust models while they organize the extant specific antecedents reported in the literature. Consequences on behavior intentions span over the full range of job dissatisfaction levels. These results highlight areas that organizations should watch for in order to build and sustain the appropriate level of trust. Finally, the integrated framework found reveals a meaningful internal structure and differences between the two foci.
