AccordingtoDr.DuaneC.Tway,Jr.inhis1993dissertation,AConstructofTrust,"Thereexiststoday,nopracticalconstructofTrustthatallowsustodesignandimplementorganizationalinterventionstosignificantlyincreasetrustlevelsbetweenpeople.WeallthinkweknowwhatTrustisfromourownexperience,butwedon'tknowmuchabouthowtoimproveit.Why?IbelieveitisbecausewehavebeentaughttolookatTrustasifitwereasingleentity."

TheThreeConstructsofTrust

Twaydefinestrustas"thestateofreadinessforunguardedinteractionwithsomeoneorsomething".Hedevelopedamodeloftrustthatincludesthreecomponents.Hecallstrustaconstructbecauseitis"constructed"ofthesethreecomponents:thecapacityfortrusting,theperceptionofcompetence,andtheperceptionofintentions.Thinkingabouttrustasmadeupoftheinteractionandexistenceofthesethreecomponentsmakes"trust"easiertounderstand.Thecapacityfortrustingmeansthatyourlifeexperienceshavedevelopedyourcurrentcapacityandwillingnesstorisktrustingothers.Theperceptionofcompetenceismadeupofyourperceptionofyourabilityandtheabilityofotherswithwhomyouworkinyourcurrentsituation.Theperceptionofintentions,asdefinedbyTway,isyourperceptionthattheactions,words,missions,ordecisionsaremotivatedbymutually-servingratherthanself-servingmotives.

WhyTrustIsCriticalinaHealthyOrganization?

Howimportantisbuildingatrustingworkenvironment?AccordingtoTway,peoplehavebeeninterestedintrustsinceAristotle.Twaystates,"Aristotle(384BC-322BC),writingintheRhetoric,suggestedthatEthos,theTrustofaspeakerbythelistener,wasbasedonthelistener'sperceptionofthreecharacteristicsofthespeaker.Aristotlebelievedthesethreecharacteristicstobetheintelligenceofthespeaker(correctnessofopinions,orcompeten'ce),thecharacterofthespeaker(reliability--acompetencefactor,andhonest--measureofintentions),andthegoodwillofthespeaker(favorableintentionstowardthelistener).Idon'tthinkthishaschangedmucheventoday."
