- Keywords:

- Abstract
-
Cynical views seem to be prevalent in the modern world and many people distrust others and social institutions around them, including politicians, business people and government (Navia, 1996). Although the suspicion associated with cynical views may protect people from being deceived (Leung & Bond, 2004), more often than not, cynicism can also reduce people’s life satisfaction (Leung & Bond). In the work context, cynicism has been found to exert a negative influence on organizational and individual outcomes (see Dean, Brandes, & Dharwadkar, 1998).
