QUESTION NO. 1
Prepare a report on relationship between organizational trust and job satisfaction from the
research articles published on google scholar.
Introduction
Social scientists consider trust as an effective factor in the organizational complex, and see it as
crucial for inter-organizational collaboration. Trust in organizations is useful for creating a
culture in which collective goals are important for the expansion of collaboration within
organizations (Chathoth et al, 2011, 233). Trust reduces the cost of exchanges, affects
interactions among individuals, and undermines the shakiness of cooperative behaviors (Ranca
& Iordanescu, 2013, 437). Researchers believe that organizational trust is an important factor in
promoting collaboration in an organization that ends with progressive behaviors and
performance outcomes (Lee et al., 2013, 408). Job satisfaction is one of the most important
factors that increases the efficiency and satisfaction of the individual, as well as the success of
the job.
One of the problems of today's organizations is the lack of trust between employees and
managers. In organizations, especially government agencies, there is a significant gap between
employees and management and the demands of the two. As a result of this gap, decisions are
usually faced with executive problems. Because employees are demonstrating stubborn
decisions, they also do not trust employees and do not trust them in the decision-making
process, and this creates a climate of distrust in the organization (Moghimi, 2011, 43). The
result of distrust will be the emergence of behaviors such as rumors of overthrow, controversy,
politics, and misery in the organization. It takes energy from organizations and increases costs.
In such an organization, talking about topics such as self-management and self-control,
cooperation, creativity, and comprehensive quality management are useless; and most
attempts to increase productivity will not yield a desirable result. Because achieving the goals of
the organization requires the cooperation of its members with each other, the most important
way is to facilitate cooperation, mutual trust among the employees, as well as trust between
the employees and the managers of the organizations (Abtahi, 2012, 98). In this regard, the
issue of employee job satisfaction is also important because sometimes due to the lack of
confidence in the organization and the lack of job satisfaction, employees are looking to leave
the organization and seek a different job. For this reason, attitudinal studies can be a valuable
tool for better understanding of managers from employees in the organization. Considering the
importance of these two attitudes, organizational trust and job satisfaction, in this research, the
researcher explains the relationship between organizational trust and job satisfaction.
Therefore, this research can identify the status of organizational trust and employee's job
satisfaction and design and implement the necessary plans to increase these characteristics. In
fact, with the help of this study, the officials of the Agricultural Bank could offer some measures
to improve the job satisfaction of their employees and increase their sensitivity to this work.
Trust means the beliefs that individuals have about the future behavior of the opposing group.
There are three broad streams of trust literature: first, inter-organizational trust; that is, as an
intra-organizational phenomenon, such as trust between employees and supervisors or
managers, or among colleagues. Second, trust between organizations, an inter-organizational
phenomenon, and third, trust between their organizations and their customers, which is a
marketing concept (Shirazi et al., 2012). Organizational trust is a mental state in which a person
tends to accept vulnerability to another and based on positive expectations of another's
behavior; and also having positive and reliable expectations about other motivations given that
the trusting person places himself in a position of danger (Bluhm, 2014, 105).
Organizational trust is divided into two dimensions of trust between the individual
(communicative) and the impersonal. Personal trust can be divided into two dimensions.
Horizontal trust relates to trust between employees and vertical trust that relies on trust
between employees and their managers. These credentials are based on qualifications,
benevolence or credibility. The impersonal type of organizational trust refers to institutional
trust and refers to the trust of members in the organization's strategy and outlook, its business
competence and technology, fair structures and processes, and human resource policies of the
organization (Ellonen et al., 2008).
JOB SATISFACTION
Job satisfaction, an unquantifiable measure, is described as a positive emotional reaction that
you feel when you do your job or when you are at work. Leading companies are now seeking
to quantify this sensation, with worker satisfaction assessments being a standard of most
workplaces.
It is important to note that job satisfaction ranges from employee to employee. In the same
workplace, with the same circumstances, variables that make one employee feel comfortable
about his or her career can not relate to another employee. It is also important to provide a
multidimensional approach to employee happiness, spanning the following areas:
The demanding essence of jobs, bringing workers to new heights
The level of comfort (short trips, access to the right technology platforms and flexible
hours)
Daily recognition of the immediate management and the company as a whole
Reasonable salaries for workers to retain a decent quality of life
Guarantee of career development in accordance with the personal advancement goals
of employees
10 FACTORS THAT DETERMINE EMPLOYEE’S SATISFACTION LEVEL
There is no concept of job satisfaction, and the variables leading to that will depend on the
essence of your workplace. For eg, a happy worker in the manufacturing sector looks different
than a happy software developer. There are, however, ten attributes that a workplace that is
oriented towards employee well-being and productivity would have in common.
Does the workplace have room for employees to engage in their hobbies?
Today, most of us spend a large portion of the week at work, but that doesn't mean we want
to neglect our passions or personal interests.
Workplaces where workers have enough spare time to read a book, to catch up with news,
to have a nice lunch, for example – and where such activity is not perceived to be calming –
may increase work satisfaction.
While consciously focusing on job satisfaction, you end up with workers who are more
motivated, more interested and willing to walk the extra mile. This supports the business in a
variety of ways.
CONCLUSION
Detailed research has found that the correlation between employee satisfaction and
organizational performance is higher than the correlation between occupational efficiency
and work satisfaction. Job satisfaction may be seen to assess organizational success more
firmly than organizational performance defines employee satisfaction. In favor of this point,
the empirical findings of this report have shown that the majority of employee satisfaction
indicators have had an effect on organizational success.
This is rational, given that corporate progress is something that workers usually do not have
the ability to truly know or personally experience the beneficial results of. Effective
organizations are not obligated to provide staff with any extra rewards or advantages
resulting from corporate performance. In practice, employees always earn the same salaries
and other forms of compensation, regardless of how good an organization is. This statement
may clarify the poor link between organizational success and work satisfaction.

The Location
The location of the business is another consideration not to lose sight of. Relocation can offer a
real competitive advantage. Small businesses might be located at the convenience of the owner,
but as they grow it often serves the business to locate closer to its customer base.
Ownership Structure
Then there’s the ownership structure. As the business grows, the old structure might no longer
suit the greater range of the business. The owner might have to give up power in exchange for
equity in the business to allow it to have the leadership it requires to respond to the new
business environment.
