Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences. Dept. of Industrial Psychology. Industrial relations Trust Labor unions Dissertations -- Industrial psychology Thesis (M. Econ.) -- University of Stellenbosch, 1999. Purcell (1984) developed a model of labour relations patterns, of which trust and formalization were the two main determinants. According to him, each of the four patterns of labour relationships that is formed by the juxta positioning of these two factors, is representative of an ideal and effective labour relations situation. Kritzinger (1993) researched the validity of Purcell's model for South African conditions. One of his findings was that trust as a determinant of effective labour relations in organisations is statistically significant, but that formalization shows no statistical significance in connection with effective labour relations. As a result of the statistical significance of trust as forecaster for effective labour relations, the focus of this study was on trust in labour relations. The first question that needed an answer was what trust in labour relations should consist of to be a forecaster of effective labour relations. This led to an investigation into trust in labour relations. Attributes that can be allocated hereto and ways in which it can be distinguished from trust in personal relationships were discussed. Perceptions of management and trade unions on trust in labour relations in their organizatIons were consequently researched and compared with the perceptions of management on effective labour relations in those organizations. The statement by Kritzinger (1993) that the perceptions of management of trust in organisations is a forecaster of effective labour relations in organisations (as seen by managers) could be confirmed. This statement was also proven to be true in the case of the perceptions of trade union representatives on trust in labour relations. Perceptions of management and trade union representatives on industrial relations trust were subsequently correlated with one another to determine whether statistical significant differences exist in their perceptions on the industrial relations trust relationship. Although there were some statistical significant differences in their perceptions, mostly statistical insignificant differences were found. This means that in this study, the perceptions of management and trade union representatives on industrial relations trust mainly correspond. A possible reason for this can be that managers and trade union representatives that acted as respondents in this study, mostly have a healthy trust relationship. Important inferences could be made as to the attributes over which the perceptions of management and trade union representatives differ significantly, It especially became apparent that major gaps still exist between the perceptions of management and trade union representatives on consultation, the extent of information sharing, openness and the outcomes of the formal collective bargaining relationship.
