“…Finally, our results may not generalize to institutions in Eastern nations such as China, Japan, and South Korea, or even Eastern European Nations like Bulgaria, Poland, and Hungary. Indeed, there is considerable evidence that institutional trust operates quite differently in Western and Eastern institutions (e.g., Cole & Cohn, 2016;Inoguchi, Mikami, & Fujii, 2007;Peng, 2014;Tan & Tambyah, 2011). Such research, examined in conjunction with theoretical work aimed at fostering an integrated understanding of Eastern and Western properties of trust (Li, 2008), and of the role of context for trust more generally (CamposCastillo et al, 2016), offers promising directions for trust research.…”

“…After examining data from the World Values Survey (WVS), Inglehart (1999:93;Delhey and Newton, 2005) concludes that "[a]lthough we agree with most of what Fukuyama says about the importance of trust, he may be mistaken in characterizing China as a low-trust society." Relying on data from the East Asian Barometer, Tan and Tambyah (2010) find that even when a two-item trust scale was used, China is still tops among Asian countries. 4 How can we explain this discrepancy?…”

Objective In recent years, there has been a fast‐growing body of literature on the sources of social trust. However, empirical studies focusing on non‐Western societies are rare. To fill the gap, this study is intended to explore both the individual and contextual sources of social trust in rural China. Methods This study uses hierarchical linear models to analyze the multilevel foundations of social trust based upon a unique two‐level data set from the China General Social Survey (CGSS) conducted nationwide at both the individual and village level in rural China. Results The results indicate that Chinese villagers markedly differentiate between the particularized and generalized forms of trust. While particularized trust is strongly influenced by both personal experiences and subjective orientations, generalized trust is closely associated with one's basic values (i.e., norms of civility). Moreover, both types of trust are very unevenly distributed in rural China, and geographically dispersed villages tend to strongly constrain the development of social trust. Conclusion Given the complex nature of social trust, these results suggest that more sophisticated studies should be introduced to map how its forms and magnitudes vary across localities.

“…Since the relation between generalized trust and trust in business organizations has been recognized [122], we decided to include this variable in our analyses. Assuming that trusting people are more likely to display higher levels of trust in co-workers and managers, it might bias the results of our research.…”

Abstract:The purpose of this paper is to determine if there are links between interpersonal trust and competences, relations, and cooperation in Polish telecommunications companies. It examines which factors affect trust in co-workers and managers in sustainable organizations. The paper surveys a sample of 175 employees of telecommunications companies in Poland by means of a questionnaire. The results indicate that competences, relations, and cooperation are related to interpersonal trust. Regression analysis showed that competences and relations predict a significant variance in trust amongst co-workers. Additionally, cooperation contributes to prediction of trust in managers. Given the importance of trust in sustainable organizations, better comprehension of which factors are related to team confidence provides valuable information for stakeholders and about how to improve interpersonal trust in sustainable organizations.
