EBOOK Restoring Trust in Organizations and Leaders:Enduring Challenges and Emerging Answers

The sinking public trust in contemporary institutions is a multifaceted phenomenon        with political, sociological, economic, and psychological antecedents and        consequences. Restoring Trust in Organizations and Leaders is the first volume to        adopt the multidisciplinary approach required to understand this decline and to        propose and assess remedies.Editors Roderick M. Kramer and Todd L. Pittinsky have        assembled contributions from leading psychologists, sociologists, economists, and        organizational theorists. In response to such blows to public confidence as the        scandals in the Roman Catholic Church, numerous corporate accounting frauds,        widespread retirement insecurity, the inadequacy of many school systems, and the        failure of politicians in the United States and Europe to come to grips with the        economic crisis, Restoring Trust offers a compelling and mind-opening mix of theory,        examples, and practical prescription for the critical social problem of restoring        public trust in organizations, institutions, and their leaders.
