Trust, the intangible driving force that keeps institutions alive

In this chapter, part of a collaborative book, it is proposed that the communications department of institutions promote trust as a key element of internal and external relations. Trust is an attitude that is based largely on both facts and perceptions, which is why communication is essential. Some specific suggestions are proposed to overcome division and promote collaboration.

Inspiring Trust

Church Communications and Organizational Vulnerability

Author(s): Prof. Dr. Juan Narbona

Edusc, 2021

Cultural and social changes, together with scandals and the incoherence of some groups, led citizens to evaluate organisations more rigorously than ever before. Since then, a culture of suspicion towards political parties, financial institutions, trade unions, the media and also - of course - the Church, has been the norm. This book contains a collection of articles by a variety of authors on a central theme: trust. As a background, the current distrust of the Catholic Church is addressed in many cases.
