Abstract

Trust between organizations has been recognized as crucial in international business (IB) and has attracted extensive research attention. Researchers have conceptualized and measured interorganizational trust in multiple ways, investigated numerous determinants and outcomes of interorganizational trust, and explored interorganizational trust in several types of international relationships across a range of country combinations using varied research methodologies. Our review aims to consolidate and advance this literature by focusing on (i) how interorganizational trust has been conceptualized in IB; (ii) how interorganizational trust has been operationalized in IB; (iii) what factors promote or hinder interorganizational trust in IB; (iv) what the outcomes are of interorganizational trust in IB; and (v) how interorganizational trust has been studied in IB. For each question, we analyze the literature and then provide recommendations and directions for future research. We aim to provide a solid grounding for future research that will keep this area theoretically sound, empirically robust, and phenomenologically relevant.

跨国界信任:国际商业中组织间信任研究综述

组织之间的信任在国际商务中被认为是至关重要的，并引起了广泛的研究关注。研究人员以多种方式对组织间信任进行了概念化和测量，调查了组织间信任的众多决定因素和结果，并使用不同的研究方法探索了跨一系列国家组合的几种类型的国际关系中的组织间信任。我们的综述旨在通过关注以下方面来巩固和推进这些文献:(1)组织间信任在IB中是如何被概念化的;(ii)组织间信任在IB中是如何运作的;(iii)哪些因素促进或阻碍了IB的组织间信任;(iv) IB组织间信任的结果是什么;(5)组织间信任在IB中的研究情况。对于每个问题，我们分析文献，然后为未来的研究提供建议和方向。我们的目标是为未来的研究提供坚实的基础，使这一领域在理论上健全，经验上健全，现象学上相关。
