DIAS, Fabiana Rocha  and  OLIVEIRA, Áurea de Fátima. Organizational values and trust: determining factors in organizational civism behaviors. Temas psicol. [online]. 2016, vol.24, n.3, pp. 1087-1100. ISSN 1413-389X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.9788/TP2016.3-15Pt.

This study aimed to verify the impact of organizational values and trust on civism behaviors. Participants were 206 employees from several organizations, who responded to reliable and valid instruments related to each construct: Inventory of Organizational Values Profile, Inventory Employee Trust in the Organization and Civism Scale in Organizations. The reliability coefficients of the scales for the study sample were higher than .70, thus they allowed the inclusion of all the variables in the standard multiple regression analysis. The factors of organizational civism were the dependent variables, whereas the organizational values and the factors of trust composed the independent variables. The results demonstrated the trust in ethics and organizational competence and the organizational values of conformity, autonomy and collectivity were predictors of the organizational civism dimensions. The conclusion of the study indicates the importance of those variables in the emission of organizational Civism behaviors, while also suggesting the performance of studies with other samples and the inclusion of new variables for future investigations.

Keywords : Civism behaviours; organizational values; trust.
