AccordingtoDr.DuaneC.Tway,Jr.inhis1993dissertation,AConstructof

someoneorsomething".Hedevelopedamodeloftrustthatincludesthree

components.Hecallstrustaconstructbecauseitis"constructed"ofthese

threecomponents:thecapacityfortrusting,theperceptionofcompetence,

ratherthanself-servingmotives.

WhyTrustIsCriticalinaHealthyOrganization?

Howimportantisbuildingatrustingworkenvironment?AccordingtoTway,

peoplehavebeeninterestedintrustsinceAristotle.Twaystates,"Aristotle

(384BC-322BC),writingintheRhetoric,suggestedthatEthos,theTrustofa

speakerbythelistener,wasbasedonthelistener'sperceptionofthree

characteristicsofthespeaker.Aristotlebelievedthesethreecharacteristicsto

betheintelligenceofthespeaker(correctnessofopinions,orcompeten'ce),
