Betydelsen av face-to-face-kontakt för tillit inom arbetslivet: Finns det en risk med utvecklingen av digital kommunikation?
(2013) PSYK01 20131Department of Psychology
- Abstract
- Since less face-to-face contact (F2F) is one of the implications of digital
communication development, this study was designed to examine if
different levels of F2F-contact correlates with interpersonal trust between
employees and their manager. A survey with 60 participants was
conducted, and the results showed no significant relationship between F2F
and trust, to some extent making it stand out compared to previous
research. Based on a comparison with relevant parts of this research, two
main differences were highlighted as probable causes of the contrasting
results; the method of measuring F2F, and the level of acquaintance
between the subjects. Based on these arguments the conclusion was drawn
that as long as... (More) - Since less face-to-face contact (F2F) is one of the implications of digital

are not entirely unfamiliar with each other, there is no significant risk that
society's new communication habits will have a negative impact on the
trust between managers and employees.

- Då utvecklingen av digital kommunikation bland annat leder till mindre
öga-mot-öga-kontakt (F2F), var studiens syfte att undersöka om olika
nivåer av F2F-kontakt korrelerar med den interpersonella tilliten mellan
chef och anställd. En enkätundersökning med 60 yrkesverksamma
deltagare genomfördes, och resultaten visade inga signifikanta samband
mellan F2F och tillit, något som i viss mån skiljer sig mot tidigare
forskningsresultat. Utifrån en jämförelse med relevant forskning
framhävdes två huvudsakliga skillnader som troliga orsaker till de
kontrasterande resultaten; metod för mätning av F2F, och nivå av

slutsatsen att så länge F2F-kommunikationen inte utesluts totalt, samt att
parterna inte är helt obekanta med varandra, finns det ingen nämnvärd risk
att samhällets nya kommunikationsvanor medför negativa konsekvenser
för tilliten mellan chef och anställd.
