This paper discusses psychological safety and distinguishes it from the related construct of interpersonal trust. Trust is the expectation that others' future actions will be favorable to one's interests; psychological safety refers to a climate in which people are comfortable being (and expressing) themselves. Although both constructs involve a willingness to be vulnerable to others' actions, ...

The relationship between organizational socialization (Training, Understanding, Coworker Support, and Future Prospects) and leadership behavior (Monitor, Producer, Consideration for Others, and Trust in Others) and burnout (Emotional Exhaustion and Personal Accomplishment) were explored and discussed. Data were collected from 341 Chinese manufacturing workers in Southern China. Results revealed...

In this paper, we present a trust-based message propagation and evaluation framework in vehicular ad-hoc networks where peers share information regarding road condition or safety and others provide opinions about whether the information can be trusted. More specifically, our trust-based message propagation model collects and propagates peers’ opinions in an efficient, secure and scalable way by...

During their everyday decision making, humans consider the interplay between two types of trust: vertical trust and horizontal trust. Vertical trust captures the trust relationships that exist between individuals and institutions, while horizontal trust represents the trust that can be inferred from the observations and opinions of others. Although researchers are actively exploring both vertic...

Bracketing is a mental procedure about how people deal with multiple tasks. If a decision maker handles all the tasks at the same time, it is called broad bracketing. If she handles the tasks separately, e.g., one or a few tasks each time, it is called narrow bracketing. This paper experimentally investigates the effect of broad versus narrow bracketing in the context of a mini-trust game. The ...

OBJECTIVE The authors evaluated the validity of trust in automation and information technology (IT) suspicion by examining their factor structure and relationship with decision confidence. BACKGROUND Research on trust has burgeoned, yet the dimensionality of trust remains elusive. Researchers suggest that trust is a unidimensional construct, whereas others believe it is multidimensional. Addi...

Trust should be substantially based on evidences including historical behaviors and recommendations in p2p. But experiments show that nodes usually just focus on the services they are interested in. For others they may ignore or feedback at will. So in most cases the system suffers a lot from dishonest feedbacks and strategically cheating behaviors of malicious nodes. Paper proposes a new trust...

Organizations need to trust each other for smoothing their collaboration to both acquire and respond to more and better business opportunities that none of them could do otherwise. However, in Virtual organization Breeding Environments (VBEs) there are several difficulties related to the processes that must be performed to facilitate organizations create trust to each other. The main cause of t...

The vast majority of applications consider generic notion of trust of a person to others, which is not restricted to any particular context or situation. Motivated by the financial scenario consuming data from distributed sources on the Web, we argue that we (as information consumers) cannot trust the information publishers or authors in general, however, only regarding the particular topics of...
