    The concept of trust has emerged as a core concept in research in organizational behavior, with important implications for groups and organizations. Prof. Kurt Dirks will summarize the key questions and insights from a quarter-century of research. While considering directions for future research, he will discuss several new studies.

    Kurt Dirks is best known for his research on the determinants, barriers, and outcomes of trust within organizations and published several highly cited and award-winning articles on the topic. The research has been covered by popular press such as Business Week, Fortune, New York Times, and the Washington Post. Prior to his current roles, Kurt has served in several leadership positions at the Olin Business School, including Interim Dean, and at the university, including Vice Chancellor of International Affairs.

    On July 10, 2023, Prof. Kurt T. Dirks will give a lecture at the Westend Campus. Further information can be found here.

    Previous research has shown that trust between employees and executives significantly reduces burnout rates and positively affects job satisfaction, innovative work behavior, and work engagement. Although a large body of scientific evidence already underlines the beneficial effects of trust, the question of "how" remains unanswered. In other words, how do we establish a healthy and sustainable trust culture between employees and management? Consequently, we want to conduct our research at the interface of trust and leadership.

    Therefore, we want your company to join us as a cooperation partner for the 'Trust and Good Leadership' research project. For further information, please click here

    Effective leaders should not only take care of tasks, but also of the health of their employees - this can mean an additional task and thus more work. What support do leaders need to lead in a healthy way? One factor is the organizational health climate, as the results of two studies show.

    The results showed that leaders’ perceptions of the organizational health climate within their company were positively related to their health mindsets (i.e., their health awareness). These in turn were positively associated with their health-oriented leadership behavior, which, ultimately went along with better employee well-being (less emotional exhaustion, more work engagement).

    However, in Study 1, the relationship between perceived organizational health climate and leaders' health mindsets was moderated by their organizational identification. High leader identification strengthened the relationship between perceived organizational health climate and leaders' health mindsets.
