Relationship between socially responsible HRM practices and organizational trust: An empirical study

Abstract

The objective of this study is to explore and examine the theoretical frameworks of socially responsible human resource management practices and trust in the organization. In addition, it seeks to know to what extent socially responsible HRM practices inspire and revive employee confidence in the organization. This study focused on a sample of 50 bank employees in the city of Agadir in Morocco. A cross-sectional research design was used to examine the relationship between socially responsible human resource management practices and trust. Data was collected using a personally administered questionnaire. The results of this study show that HRM practices compliant with legal requirements, as well as employee-oriented HRM practices are significantly related to trust. But HRM practices facilitation general CSR have no significant relationship with trust.
