SIX WAYS TO MEASURE RELATIONSHIPS
• Control Mutuality: stable relationships require that each
party have some measure of control over the other (If one wields all the control how healthy is that? )
• Trust: each party’s level of confidence in and willingness to open up to the other (self explanatory)
• Satisfaction: extent to which each party feels the benefits of its relationship with the other outweighs the costs
![Page 14: 471_Employee Relations](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062614/546b6b9caf795996668b473f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
SIX WAYS TO MEASURE RELATIONSHIPS
• Commitment: extent to which each party believes the relationship is worth maintaining and promoting
• Exchange relationship: extent that one party grants benefits to the other because the other have provided benefits in the past or will do so in the future
• Communal relationship: extent to which each party provides benefits to the other out of concern for the other’s welfare, even if it may not receive something in return
*While relationships are often difficult to measure, they effects they have on PR outcomes can be quite powerful
