Popis: This paper enlarges on the concepts of organizational trust and trust organization, respectively high-trust organization, as outlined in the devoted literature since 1990. Relying on the progress made in the research of these concepts in other countries, our aim is to examine the organizational culture developed in some Romanian companies based on the rating criteria of organizational trust, in order to determine the extent to which the features specific to high-trust organizations can be identified in Romanian companies. In the current stage of our research, we have conducted a series of case studies to support the future design of a questionnaire, for the purpose of organising a sociological survey as a future step. We used the elements of an established model in the scholarly literature, which we intend to customise and apply to Romanian companies. The conclusions deriving from the researched cases give us reason to believe that the development of an organizational culture is perfectly attainable, based on a high level of trust in the respective companies. The ultimate goal of our undertaking is to improve the education of the students specialising in Economics and Business Administration, in view of building a high level of organizational trust in the future employing companies.
