Trusting the Trust Literature: What Applied and Theoretical Literatures Have in Common

Abstract

This presentation is a comparison of business, academic, and military literature on trust. What are the relationships among the academic, more theoretical literature and the more applied realm of business and military literature when trust in teams is explored? This presentation will explore the constructs involved when each literature discusses the overlaps and gaps within trust. In addition, this presentation will discuss how each literature looks at team trust in leadership, leader trust in team members, and trust among team members. References to trust in teams will be coded and analyzed.
