The trust episode in organizations: implications for private and public social capital
2009
Taking into account that research on organizational trust is fragmented, the present article proposes an integrated view of the episode of trust in organizations. To this end, the authors define trust and analyze its proximal and distal sources. They also examine the potential role of context, again considering proximal and distal facets. In addition, they explore the consequences of organizational trust leading to private and public social capital. Finally, the authors consider different levels of construct in the analysis of the trust episode in organizations. This effort helps integrate dispersed research efforts and reveals neglected research areas in the investigation on organizational…
Ethical Leaders Promote Quality of Life Through Fair and Trust-based Relationships
2020
Ethical leadership has become an important field of research. This article examines the impact of ethical leadership within the context of healthcare organizations. Based on social learning theory, we examine the relationship between ethical leadership and quality of life, mediated by peer justice and moderated by trust in the leader. Participants in this study consisted of 388 professionals from 59 centers affiliated with “Plena Inclusión”, an NGO whose mission is to improve the quality of life of individuals with intellectual disabilities in Spain. Results showed a significant relationship between ethical leadership and quality of life, through a partial mediation of overall peer justice.…
Exploring relationships between customer-based brand equity and its drivers and consequences in the hotel context. An impact-asymmetry assessment
2016
The development of customer-based brand equity plays a critical role in tourism. This paper attempts to study which variables contribute to brand equity creation and to examine whether brand loyalty can be considered as a consequence of brand equity in the hotel context. In addition, it seeks to provide a more detailed insights into possible asymmetric effects among customer-based brand equity and its drivers and consequences. Four constructs are found to influence significantly brand equity: two perceptual (image and perceived quality) and two relational variables (trust and affective commitment). Additionally, both behavioural and attitudinal components of loyalty are confirmed as brand e…
Trust and mistrust when students read multiple information sources about climate change
2011
Abstract The present study investigated how undergraduates judged the trustworthiness of different information sources that they read about climate change. Results showed that participants ( N = 128) judged information from textbook and official documents to be more trustworthy than information from newspapers and a commercial agent. Moreover, participants put most emphasis on content and least emphasis on date of publication when judging document trustworthiness. When judging the trustworthiness of the textbook, they emphasized criteria differently than when evaluating other types of documents. Results also indicated that readers low in topic knowledge were more likely to trust less trust…
Le conseguenze civilistiche dell’illecito antitrust: la nullità
2020
Le “conseguenze” civilistiche che espressamente o meno vengono associate all’illecito antitrust spaziano oggi dalla più classica dimensione sanzionatoria, qual è quella che propriamente si appartiene alla nullità di pieno diritto - evocata da Trattato e legge municipale - a quella più schiettamente rimediale, integralmente assorbita dalla tecnica riparatoria, vuoi contrattuale, vuoi soprattutto aquiliana. Il contributo si incentra sulla più risalente delle conseguenze civilistiche associate alla violazione della disciplina antitrust, vale a dire quella invalidativa, saggiandone il raggio di azione, laddove espressamente comminata (cartelli) e valutandone invece criticamente la pertinenza ,l…
Participación ciudadana y posverdad: la amenaza de la posverdad participativa
2020
Citizen participation is presented today, within the political discourse, as the legitimizing and revitalizing panacea par excellence of the worn and reviled representative democracy. However, the instruments that supposedly promote it, the language with which it is proposed and the enormous force with which the ‘post-truth’ has broken into the political landscape, capable of imposing on the public opinion an adulterated and falsified version of reality has not only caused the citizen to withdraw and distrust the regenerative force of the current participatory paradigm. Even more, we must be on our guard against the extraordinary manipulative power that is contained in the conjunction of pa…
Alternative Systems: The Interplay between Criminal Groups’ Influence and Political Trust on Civic Honesty in the Global Context
2023
Individuals’ endorsement of standards of civic honesty is necessary for democracies to flourish. A critical driver of civic honesty is the relationship of trust between individuals and institutions. Research has yet to systematically assess the contextual factors that may moderate this relationship. In the present study, we examined the societal influence of organized criminal groups. Criminal groups operate as alternative systems of authority that erode the reliability of institutions' moral standards. We employed a new indicator that quantifies their societal influence to test the hypothesis that the association between individuals’ political trust and civic honesty would weaken in countr…
Trust: the basis of the collaborative interaction
2005
This contribution focuses on the role of trust in developing collaborative learning. Both in face-to-face and online environments, four types of learning interactions are required: interaction with resources, with teachers, with peers and with an interface. Collaborative interaction, and therefore collaborative learning, requires people to trust one another. Several factors, such as shared social norms, repeated interactions and shared experiences, have been suggested to facilitate the development of interpersonal trust; as far as temporary teams are concerned, the concept of "swift trust" has been proposed. It is suggested that collaborative online interactions - compared to face-to-face o…
