Measured Difference of Organizational Trust among Community College Employees

Blair Rhodes Ellis

Organizational trust of employees requires a multidimensional tool to align with a multidimensional construct. The short version of the Organizational Trust Inventory (OTI), a two part and twelve question quantitative survey was distributed to employees at a multi-campus and regional community college. Descriptive characteristics of the employees such as rank, gender, campus affiliation, race, age, and tenure were used to determine whether there was a difference in organizational trust based on those characteristics. The data collected was analysed by using one-way ANOVA. The findings of the study concluded that among the characteristics reviewed, campus affiliation and rank had a significant impact on perceived organizational trust by employees.
