Trust is key in supply chain management, and research presented by Maharishi University of Management Professor Sabita Sawhney found that practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique by people in business helps to increase trust.
Speaking last month at the prestigious annual meeting of the Decision Science Institute in Chicago, Dr. Sawhney explained that trust is recognized as a key influencing factor in forming healthy working relationships between buyers and suppliers. And she surveyed research showing that issues such as stress and anxiety can interfere with trust.
She gave an overview of research on Transcendental Meditation showing that it can reduce afflictions such as stress and anxiety, leading her to hypothesize that the practice could lead to greater trust in business.
She then presented the results of a field study of participants from service and manufacturing companies in Fairfield. The results indicated that the regular practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique cultivates a higher disposition to trust.
