A few days back an interesting academic lecture titled "Sparks, Workers and Slugs: On the Relationship between Work Orientation and Trust among Firefighters" was delivered by Professor Michael G. Pratt. Based on a decade of research, his talk was essentially about exploring the relationship between work orientation and trust among firefighters. It was particularly intriguing to know how perceptions of work orientations get formed based on small social cues outside the work domain, and how this perception determines the degree of trust between workers.
