Editors Roderick M. Kramer and Tom R. Tyler have assembled a cross-disciplinary group of scholars — from social psychology, behavioral economics, sociology, and organizational theory — to bring together some of the newest and most exciting conceptual perspectives in this field. These contributions also reflect a variety of new methodological approaches to the study of trust. This volume’s broad coverage includes discussion of the psychological and social antecedents of trust, the effects of social and organizational structures on trust, and the broad effects of trust on organizational functioning.
