Abstract
ABSTRACT In this article, we review the distrust literature and explore whether the universal sequence for trust as outlined by Dietz (2011) and Dietz and Den Hartog (2006) is also true for distrust. Compared to trust, there is much less research on distrust, although the field has been rapidly developing in recent years. We argue that it is time to explore a universal sequence for distrust to take stock of current knowledge and to focus the empirical and conceptual research. There is sufficient evidence to suggest that such a universal sequence is a valuable framework for distrust research. This analytical exercise also forces us to identify tacit assumptions that frame and guide much of the current distrust (and trust) research. In so doing, we identify two main areas that require more attention: 1) the definition of distrust and its relation to trust and 2) the universal sequences and their dynamics. These findings lead to avenues for further research.
在本文中,我们回顾了不信任的文献,并探讨Dietz(2011)和Dietz and Den Hartog(2006)所概述的信任的普遍序列是否也适用于不信任。与信任相比,对不信任的研究要少得多,尽管这一领域近年来发展迅速。我们认为,现在是时候探索一个普遍的不信任序列,以评估当前的知识,并将重点放在实证和概念研究上。有足够的证据表明,这样一个普遍的序列是一个有价值的不信任研究框架。这种分析练习也迫使我们去识别那些框架和指导当前不信任(和信任)研究的隐性假设。在此过程中,我们确定了需要更多关注的两个主要领域:1)不信任的定义及其与信任的关系;2)普遍序列及其动态。这些发现为进一步的研究开辟了道路。
期刊介绍:
As an inter-disciplinary and cross-cultural journal dedicated to advancing a cross-level, context-rich, process-oriented, and practice-relevant journal, JTR provides a focal point for an open dialogue and debate between diverse researchers, thus enhancing the understanding of trust in general and trust-related management in particular, especially in its organizational and social context in the broadest sense. Through both theoretical development and empirical investigation, JTR seeks to open the "black-box" of trust in various contexts.
