Organizational infidelity: how violations of trust affect the employee-employer relationship

Article Abstract:

Sandra Robinson of New York University made a study about the violation of trust that impacts on employee-employer relationships. Study results showed that employees believe in these unwritten agreements or psychological contracts in the workplace and hope that their employer will keep their part of the bargain. Employees who experience a breach in the contract usually possess minimal desire to contribute to the organization's productivity because they feel they could no longer trust the company. It is difficult to correct violated trust by merely rectifying unmet expectations.

Evaluation of risk: do organizational or individual biases prevail?

Article Abstract:

Risk assessments are vulnerable to biases from individual decision-makers and the entire organization. The influence of individual and organizational biases on these complex decisions is investigated through a review of archival loan information. The biases of loan officers and the banks are reviewed based on the risk assessment made by the officers and the loan decisions made by the bank. The organizational biases in this instance appear to take precedence over personal biases of the loan officer.

The working poor: locked out of careers and the organizational mainstream?

Article Abstract:

Participation in welfare-to-work reform programs can benefit business organizations. Employing the poor offers economic advantages, including public appreciation for value-based organizational practices and a bigger pool of potential consumers with discretionary income, as well as organizational advantages, such as better adjustment to the new career context for all employees. Ways by which companies can help improve the employability of the working poor are discussed.
