Intermediate Diploma Thesis from the year 2003 in the subject Business economics - Personnel and Organisation, grade: 8/10, Maastricht University (FdewB), 14 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Cynicism has become a common state of mind in today's society. A cynic is defined by the Oxford Learner's dictionary as "a person who believes that people do not do things for good, sincere or noble reasons" (Oxford Learner's, 1989). The roots of cynicism lead back to the ancient Greeks, where cynicism was a school of thought and way of life. In the early times, cynics were accepted as progressive and serious and took part in philosophical debates. When philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle became more famous and increased their followers' base, the cynics ceased to exist as a school of thought. A short revival took place during the third century in Rome, showing that cynicism seems to thrive whenever corruption is an issue. The word cynicism itself might have originated from the Greek expression for dog, kyon, which is why cynics were frequently called the disciples of the dog. The most famous Greek cynic was Diogenes of Sinope, a student of Antisthenes. He became famous for carrying a light around during bright daylight, in order to find one honest man (Dean, Brandes and Dharwadkar, 1998). This act very well describes the way cynics think: A cynic is overly critical to any type of organization, believing that the individual is the natural unit of human life and therefore expecting others to behave in their self interest and opposing any institution, such as churches or even the government. Today, cynicism is less of a philosophical issue but more a term associated with negative meanings and a way to mock the ones in power through sarcasm. Cynicism should not be confused with scepticism, though, which is a form of healthy, critical thinking, while cynics are generally in doubt of anything that humans claim to do. The big difference is that sceptics a

Recent research suggests that organizational cynicism should be interpreted as a reaction to the policies and practices of an organization as opposed to a reflection of the general attitudes and traits of its employees. However, no one has investigated the underlying psychological factors that explain the link between organizational actions and employee cynicism. The present study examined the role of organizational injustice and explanatory style as precursors to organizational cynicism. Organizational injustice refers to people2s sense that their organization has been unfair to them in terms of the outcomes they receive, the processes used to determine their outcomes, and the interpersonal treatment they have experienced. In this study, higher levels of perceived organizational injustice were predicted to be associated with higher levels of organizational cynicism. Reactions to injustice, however, might differ depending on the attribution made regarding the cause. It was hypothesized that individuals who tend to attribute negative events to factors that are more external to self, stable (i.e., always present), and global (i.e., influences other situations in their life) are more likely than others to develop a cynical attitude in response to organizational injustice. 226 male and 90 female employees from a large manufacturing company completed 4 web-based measures including the Organizational Cynicism Scale (Dean et al., 1998), the Cynicism About Human Nature Scale (Wrightsman,1992), the Attributional Style Questionnaire (Peterson, 1992), and the Organizational Justice Measure (Colquitt, 2001). Stepwise multiple regression showed that higher scores on each injustice dimension were predictive of organizational cynicism and that their combined effect accounted for 29% of the variance. Furthermore, organizational injustice was a stronger predictor of organizational cynicism than was cynicism about people in general. Moderated Multiple Regression (MMR) revealed a significant, but weak, moderating effect of explanatory style when combined with distributive injustice and no effect with procedural or interpersonal injustice. Interpretations include the possibility that cynicism is a coping response to perceived organizational injustice and possibly a necessary one given the lack of safe alternatives for directly addressing injustice. Interpretations regarding the inconsistent moderating effect of explanatory style include the possibility that explanations regarding distributive injustice are more varied and, therefore, more likely than the others to conform to one2s explanatory style. Suggested next steps include further investigation into organizational injustice, explanatory styles, and other variables that might contribute to organizational cynicism.
