Trust is an important element in human relations and cooperation between members of the organization. Trust can be the interpersonal or inter-group, in special mode; or be generalized and related to the whole organization in general mode. Special-generalized trust as a complex interactive process is influenced by various personal and social factors and variables. Some of the most important factors include personality characteristics (system preferences), social relations and economic-social base. In the present study, generalized trust and its effective factors in public organizations in Kashan city are investigated. Results of this research in which data was collected from a sample of 363 respondents, shows that there is a significant relationship between the generalized trust in one hand, and job satisfaction, sense of security, optimism, participation, trust in management and population relationship in other hand.
