Organizational Trust Perceptions of Employees: A Study on University Employees

The purpose of this study is to determine the level of organizational trust of the administrative employee at state and foundation universities and to show whether these levels differ according to demographic variables. The sample of the study is composed of 772 administrative staff. The research findings were evaluated using frequency, t test and one way ANOVA. As a result of the research, according to university type, it is found that the mean scores of administrative personnel working in foundation universities are higher at all sub dimensions forming the organizational trust and create statistically significant difference. Also, the fact that while the marital status variable of the participants does not cause differentiation in organizational trust perceptions of the personnel, income status causes differentiation is determined. Significant difference at director trust dimension and organization’s self reliability dimension of the woman, primary school graduate and new personnel is determined.
