Over the past two decades, the topic of trust moved from bit player to
center stage in organizational theory and research. Whereas previously
it often had been treated as a mediating variable in empirical studies
- a variable of secondary interest, at best - trust emerged in the
1990s as a subject deemed important and worthy of study in its own
right. Despite the importance of the topic, to date no single volume
currently exists that provides the motivated reader with a sound
introduction to, and reasonable overview of, this rapidly growing,
widely dispersed, multi-disciplinary literature. Indeed, some of the
most influential, foundational pieces remain scattered in obscure
journals or books, some of which are not easily found or, in some
instances, no longer even in print. Thus the individual scholar hoping
to come up to speed with this literature currently had nowhere to
turn. This reader provides trust scholars and researchers with a handy
reference volume, a broad guide for graduate students hoping to
understand and possibly contribute to this significant and
still-growing literature, and a resource for teachers at the
undergraduate level of undergraduate anthropology, economics,
political science, psychology, organizational sciences, and sociology
courses.
