1. Honor among Crooks: The Role of Trust in Obfuscated Disreputable Exchange

Abstract

When people want to conduct a transaction, but doing so would be morally disreputable, they can obfuscate the fact that they are engaging in an exchange while still arranging for a set of transfers that are effectively equivalent to an exchange. Obfuscation through structures such as gift-giving and brokerage is pervasive across a wide range of disreputable exchanges, such as bribery and sex work. In this article, we develop a theoretical account that sheds light on when actors are more versus less likely to obfuscate. Specifically, we report a series of experiments addressing the effect of trust on the decision to engage in obfuscated disreputable exchange. We find that actors obfuscate more often with exchange partners high in loyalty-based trustworthiness, with expected reciprocity and moral discomfort mediating this effect. However, the effect is highly contingent on the type of trust; trust facilitates obfuscation when it is loyalty-based, but this effect flips when trust is ethics-based. Our findings not only offer insights into the important role of relational context in shaping moral understandings and choices about disreputable exchange, but they also contribute to scholarship on trust by demonstrating that distinct forms of trust can have diametrically opposed effects.

7. We Hope You Are Well: The Co-Creation of Wellbeing by Individuals in Organizations

Author

Sawyer, Katina B., Schilke, Oliver, Wong, Elena Maria, Sawyer, Katina B., Schilke, Oliver, and Wong, Elena Maria

Abstract

Organizations and individuals invest resources in supporting employee wellbeing, a trend that has intensified in recent years. Despite this increased emphasis on enhancing wellbeing, employees continue to vary in terms of the state of their wellbeing. To gain insight into how and why employee wellbeing statuses vary, I adopted an inductive approach to explore the diverse contributors to employee wellbeing outcomes. This exploration involved interviews with 57 employees at a single organization and uncovered a wide array of wellbeing facilitators, factors that support employee wellbeing, and wellbeing inhibitors, factors that are detrimental to employee wellbeing. I examined what employees identified as contributors to the state of their wellbeing and developed a theoretical framework outlining archetypes of employees that relate to high and low levels of wellbeing. Drawing on the interviews with participants who reported low and high wellbeing statuses, I examined contextual factors that contributed to employee wellbeing. Contributing to the body of work that examines how contextual factors impact employee wellbeing, I elucidated the role of historical comparison, finding that employees make comparisons between their current context to their historical contexts to validate their present state of wellbeing. In highlighting the role of the past to the present, I revealed how employees support themselves by trying to leverage coping skills developed in the past. As a result, existing skills act as reinforcing, compensatory, or ineffective contributors to their wellbeing. In highlighting the role of employee comparisons between their past context and their present, and the ways that coping skills may or may not support their wellbeing, I uncovered findings that may shape future research and organizational endeavors to support employee wellbeing.

9. The Power to Reward vs. the Power to Punish: The Influence of Power Framing on Individual-Level Exploration.

Abstract

This article adopts a relational perspective to demonstrate that characteristics of the dyadic relationship between supervisors and their employees are critical to understanding individual-level exploration—understood as the extent to which organizational members pursue new opportunities and experiment with changes to current practices. To this end, we introduce the concept of power framing—that is, whether the control over valued resources is emphasized as the ability to reward or to punish—and propose that supervisor power framing shapes employee exploration. In an experimental study, we demonstrate that reward (versus punishment) power framing increases employee exploration behavior and that this effect is mediated by perceived trustworthiness of the supervisor. In a second survey study, we replicate these findings in a field sample and show that the relationship between reward power framing and exploration depends on the degree to which the focal employee is sensitive to power characteristics (i.e., power distance orientation). This investigation advances scholarship on the microfoundations of exploration while also highlighting the ability of leaders to alter trustworthiness perceptions and induce employee exploration through power framing.

19. A review of experimental research on organizational trust

Author

Schilke, Oliver, Powell, Andy, and Schweitzer, Maurice E.

Abstract

ABSTRACTTrust profoundly shapes organisational, group, and dyadic outcomes. Reflecting its importance, a substantial and growing body of scholarship has investigated the topic of trust. Much of this work has used experiments to identify clear, causal relationships. However, in contrast to theoretical work that conceptualises trust as a multi-faceted (e.g. ability, benevolence, integrity), multi-level (e.g. interpersonal, intergroup), and dynamic construct, experimental scholarship investigating trust has largely investigated benevolence-based trust in dyadic relationships. As a result of the relatively limited set of paradigms experimental scholars have used to investigate trust, many questions related to different forms and types of trust remain un- and under-explored in experimental work. In this review, we take stock of the existing experimental trust scholarship and identify key gaps in our current understanding of trust. We call for future experimental work to investigate ability-based and integrity-based trust, to advance our understanding of the interplay between relationship history and trust, to study trust as a multi-level construct, to focus on the consequences of trust including the hazards of misplaced trust, and to study trust maintenance. To support these lines of inquiry, we introduce an ideal-typical process model to develop or adapt appropriate trust experiments.

20. Organizational Trust in the Age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution: Shifts in the Form, Production, and Targets of Trust.

Abstract

In this essay, we argue that the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution calls for a reexamination of trust patterns within and across organizations. We identify fundamental changes in terms of (1) what form organizational trust takes, (2) how it is produced, and (3) who needs to be trusted. First, and most broadly, trust is likely to become more impersonal and systemic. Trust between actors is increasingly substituted by trust in a system based on digital technology. Second, in terms of trust production modes, characteristic- and institution-based trust production will gain in importance. Third, despite the move toward system trust, there will nonetheless be a need to trust certain individuals; however, these trustees are no longer the counterparts to the interaction but rather third parties in charge of the technological systems and data. Thus, the focal targets of interpersonal trust are changing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

22. Exploring the Dynamics Between Power and Trust in Organizations.

Author

Fulmer, C. Ashley, Zhang, Claire, Gwak, Jeewon, Byron, Kris, Oliveira, Nuno, Schilke, Oliver S., Lumineau, Fabrice, Huo, Baofeng, Mooijman, Marlon, Wu, Shuang, Yin, Yidan, Ocampo, Joseph, Oveis, Christopher, Smith, Pamela K., and Sitkin, Sim B.

Abstract

To explore the diverse mechanisms of how power influences trust, this symposium includes studies that introduce diverse perspectives using diverse methodological methods. The research questions answered in these studies consider how the power and trust of a buyer-supplier dyad influence each other, if and why power influences trust after third-party trust violations, how power influences self-disclosure which then influences trust, and when people are more trusting of those with power and those with more power are more trusting of others. These studies examine questions in various contexts including interpersonal relationships, buyer-supplier relationships, supervisor and subordinate relationships, and third-party relationships. They also utilize diverse research designs and statistical methods including lab experiments, field surveys, meta-analysis, and Actor-Partner Interdependence Model. Following the study presentations, Dr. Sim Sitkin will serve as the symposium's discussant. Renowned for his seminal contributions to the field including numerous influential journal articles and books on the topic of trust and control, Dr. Sitkin will comment on the four presentations and offer an analysis on trust and power in organizational contexts. His insights promise to deepen the discourse of this symposium and enrich our understanding of the interplay between power and trust.

23. Institutions and Trust: Crisis, Erosion, and Construction.

Abstract

Management and organization scholars have increasingly directed their attention to the study of grand challenges such as socioeconomic inequality, job losses, climate change, and the resurgence of populism. A core aspect of these interrelated challenges concerns an accelerated decline of trust in core societal institutions such as science, the law, and democracy itself. Research on trust or institutions has a long history in the field of management and organization studies. However, relatively few scholars have adopted an institutional approach to trust. To understand trust as a complex, macro-level phenomenon, we propose a research agenda that focuses on studying the dynamic relationship between institutions and trust. This symposium includes four papers that explore important aspects of these dynamics--including how global crises endanger the perceived trustworthiness of social institutions, how the erosion of trust in institutions unfolds, how institutionalization affects the level of trust, how organizations strategically use institutions to address the loss of trust, and how they use digital technologies as a governance institution to construct trust. Our agenda opens up new opportunities for research on the co-constitution of trust and institutions.
