Samenvatting:

This book argues that public trust is a prerequisite for successful collaboration between public organisations and their environment. At the same time this collaboration strengthens public trust as one of the most important factors of public organisations’ effectiveness and trust in democratic systems of civic society.



The aim of this book is to outline an organisational perspective in exploring public trust. A public management model, adopted for ongoing considerations, covers both changes in public organisations themselves, namely in their internal environment, as well as changes spurred by dynamic shifts in the external environment, such as the management system as a whole. The study attempts to demonstrate that efficient functioning of public organisations has a significant impact on shaping relationships based on trust within and between organisations. It also presents the concepts of corruption, fraud and trust. The research completed with regard to the organisational perspective of creating public trust is a contribution to the advancement of organisational theory.
