Trusting ManagementAbstractThe purpose of this research report is to find the relationship between "trust in management" and three variables, "intrinsic motivation", "organizational citizenship behavior" and "intention to leave", as well as to find the impact of cash bonuses on these variables. Each student had to take our five surveys. Surveys are full of questions that measure the various variables mentioned above. There are 1549 surveys in total and participants had to work at least 25 hours, not be a manager and work in the private sector. It was found that there is an association between “trust in management” and the three variables. It was also found that cash bonuses do not necessarily affect the employees and the three variables. The results show that the more trust employees have in their management, the more likely they are to comply with the three variables discussed. It also shows that employees would not respond better to the three variables even if they received a cash bonus. Each student was asked to conduct five surveys. Participants had to answer thirty-five questions in total. These questions were chosen so that the answers are able to provide an indication of the three variables discussed. The first survey question “I work at my current job because I think my job is interesting” is an example of the “intention to leave” variable. The second question “If I had my way, I would not allow my manager to have any influence on issues that are important to me” is an example of the “trust in management” variable. The third survey question “I help others who have heavy workloads” is an example of the “organizational citizenship behavior” variable. Question nine in the survey “I work at my current job because my job is fun” is an example of the “intrinsic motivation” variable. Fifty-four percent of participants were male, with 54% born in Australia. The majority of participants were in the twenty-five or younger age group, with approximately forty-six percent, with twenty-four percent in the twenty-six to forty-five age group, and finally twenty-nine percent in the forty-six to sixty-two age group . . The survey was limited to a maximum age of sixty-two years. According to the educational level criteria, forty-nine percent of participants had a bachelor's degree or equivalent. 22% completed a TAFE certificate or equivalent, 20% completed a high school certificate and the remaining nine completed a school certificate.
