Abstract
Trust in labor relations is essential for social institutions, governments, economies and communities to function properly. Going back to the late 1990’s and early 2000’s in Poland, which saw the switch from planned to market economy and a cultural change, this article aims to put an emphasis on trust and truth, long considered critical values in effective management. Relating the author’s own experience as a Director at Ford Motor Company, Poland, from 1992 to 2002 and as an academia, it considers both theoretical and practical issue of corporate trust and outlines some programs designed to promote and maintain cultivate trust values in a company. Although the data presented in this study comes from a multinational’s plants in Poland, it may well be generalized to other parts of the world, all the more as this MNC has branches on every continent, included in Thailand. This Study should be treated as a contribution to the field of Trust which has witnessed a renewal of attention in the wake of the recent global economic turbulence.
