Model Results FranklinCovey SA - National Trust Index
Model Validity & Reliability 11 The FranklinCovey SA National Trust Index Model is both VALID and RELIABLE according to international academic research criteria. VALIDITY: The research measures TRUST, as well as the dimensions of trust, as set out in the questionnaire. RELIABILITY: The results will remain stable and has little randomness, it measures reality Dimension Cumulative Explained Variance Cronbach Alpha Integrity 82.4 89% Intent 85.5 92% Capabilities 86.0 92% Results 82.7 89% Relationship 81.5 98% (13 Behaviors) This is very important: Basically it means that the results can be trusted to represent the concept and dimensions it is designed to measure and that it represents reality. The results can be trusted to be true!
Model Fit 12 The pinnacle of rigorous, robust, scientific research is the development of a Structural Equation Model (SEM). Such as model indicates that the results represent a large complex conceptual construct; such as TRUST. Furthermore, such a model allows us to understand what are the underlying drivers of this construct. It helps us to break TRUST down into the dimensions that make it up and understand the contribution of each dimension towards this larger construct. The FranklinCovey SA National Trust Index Model met all the criteria to be accepted as a robust, scientific Structural Equation Model, i.e.: Bentler Comparative Fit Index: 0.872
FranklinCovey SA National Trust Index Model 13 The Model structure as well as the contribution of each dimension towards the higher level concept is illustrated below. The percentage indicated is NOT the Index scores, but rather the underlying strength of contribution of each underlying dimension to the higher level concept 3 Items 3 Items 3 Items 3 Items Integrity Intent Capabilities Results 18% 13% 24% 45% Self Trust (4 Cores of Credibility) FranklinCovey South Africa National Trust Index 46% Overall Team Trust Overall Company Trust 97% 73% Company Market Trust 13 Items Relationship Trust (13 Behaviors) 100% Relationship Trust (13 Behaviors) 54%

FranklinCovey SA National Trust Index - Interpretation 15 The FranklinCovey SA National Trust Index stands at 57 This is a composite score, consisting of all the underlying dimensions and contributing towards the scores according to the percentage weights determined by the Structural Equation Model It is not a percentage it is an INDEX SCORE, with the possible score ranging from 0 to 100 The Overall Company Trust Index Score is the main index score, and explains or predicts 73% of an organisation's Market Trust Overall Company Trust Index Score is made up by Team Trust Team Trust consists of Self Trust (4 Cores of Credibility) as well as Relationship Trust (13 Behaviors of High Trust). We can see that Relationship Trust is rated the lowest- it also contributes more (54%) to the Team Trust score, making it relatively slightly more important Self Trust is made up by a number of sub-dimensions, of which Results makes the highest contribution
FranklinCovey SA National Trust Index - Interpretation 16 Using this particular methodology, an Index Score of below 70 is considered LOW, and an Index Score of below 60 is considered VERY POOR! Index Score Result Interpretation Above 80 Very Good 70 80 Fair/ Good 60 70 Poor Below 60 Franklin Covey National Trust Index Score 57 SAcsi South African Customer Satisfaction Index 76 ACSI American Customer Satisfaction Index 74 Very Poor Compared to other National Index scores, using the same methodology, a National Trust Index of 57 is particularly low.
Detailed Results & Interpretation
FranklinCovey SA National Trust Index - Province 18 On a Provincial level it is clear that Western Cape and Kwazulu Natal have relatively high Trust Levels. Gauteng has a Trust Index Score of 56 which is very poor. Due to small sample sizes the Other Provinces are grouped together. This combined view also indicate very poor trust amongst these provinces 65 63 61 59 57 55 53 51 49 47 45 FranklinCovey South Africa - National Trust Index - Province 56 Gauteng 63 Western Cape 61 Kwazulu Natal 55 Other Provinces
FranklinCovey SA National Trust Index Company Size 19 Clearly companies with more than 50 employees have major trust concerns, with a Trust Index of only 50. Mid-sized companies also have a very low Trust Index with small companies clearly sitting on a relatively good Trust environment. What was also interesting is that for small companies, the Company Trust was in fact higher than the Team Trust sub-score. For large companies the Company Trust is much lower than the Team Trust score, even though the Team Trust score is also very low. This is a clear indication that suspicion and distrust rises in larger groups of people. 75 70 65 60 55 50 45 FranklinCovey South Africa - National Trust Index - Number of Employees 50 More than 500 employees 56 21-500 employees 73 1-20 employees
FranklinCovey SA National Trust Index Management Level 20 What stands out in the Management Level view is that Junior & Middle Management has by far the lowest Trust Index Score. Companies in South Africa will need to invest seriously in this group if they want to improve Trust and business performance. This could also indicate that Senior & Top Management might live under a delusions that there is high Trust in their organisations, while in the ranks below them very low trust exists. 70 65 60 55 50 FranklinCovey South Africa - National Trust Index - Management Level 57 50 65 45 Staff Junior & Middle Management Senior & Top Management
FranklinCovey SA National Trust Index Management Level 21 A further breakdown of the FranklinCovey National Trust Index of 57 indicates that this is made up of 52% of the respondents giving their organisation a LOW TRUST rating. The low Trust Index score coupled with the high percentage of LOW TRUST rating indicates that Trust is a serious problems amongst companies in South Africa.
