When we model and analyze trust in organizations or information systems we have to take into account two different levels of analysis: social and individual. Social levels define the structure of organizations, whereas individual levels focus on individual agents. This is particularly important when capturing security requirements where a “normally” trusted organizational role can be played by ...

OBJECTIVE The objective was to determine whether operators with an expectancy that automation is trustworthy are better at calibrating their trust to changes in the capabilities of automation, and if so, why. BACKGROUND Studies suggest that individual differences in automation expectancy may be able to account for why changes in the capabilities of automation lead to a substantial change in t...

Swift starting action teams (STATs) are increasingly prevalent in organizations, and the development of trust is often a critical issue for their effectiveness. However, current theory and research do not provide a clear picture regarding how trust toward the team (i.e., the team as the target) is developed in these settings. The primary contribution of this article is to present a theoretical ...

This study examines two aspects of organizational trust, as identified in the relevant literature: cognition-based (rational) trust and affect-based (relational) trust. Using hierarchical linear modeling (HLM), we explore and analyze the antecedents of organizational trust in the public sector at a hierarchical and multi-level ordering structure, and empirically test the effects of different ty...

This paper challenges the assumption that trust is a generally desirable, static, measurable attitude of the individual. A reconceptualization of trust as situationally specific, negotiated and purposeful social action is proposed. Data presented in this paper are based on a series of semi-structured interviews with 16 heterosexual individuals. The interview agenda included questions about resp...

The ability for a user to accurately estimate the amount of trust to be placed in a peer user is gaining more and more attention in social network applications. Trust aggregation provides this ability by identifying paths that connect users in the network, and by merging trust opinions expressed by users along these paths. However, as individual trust opinions are not always based on perfect kn...

Individual-level trust is formalized within the context of a multi-agent system that models human behaviour with respect to trust in the Trust and Tracing game. This is a trade game on commodity supply chains and networks, designed as a research tool and to be played by human players. The model of trust is characterised by its learning ability, its probabilistic nature, and how experience influ...

Trust is a necessary concept to realize the Semantic Web. But how can we build a “Web of Trust”? We first argue that a small “Web of Trust” for each community is very essential to realize a huge “Web of Trust.” Then, we focus on an academic community as a microcosm of a “Web of Trust” and show a web mining approach to generate a social network automatically. Each edge is added using the number ...

G. Santhi, Assistant Professor, Dept. of Information technology, Pondicherry Engineering College, India. AbstractIn mobile ad-hoc network, nodes cannot rely on any fixed infrastructure for routing purposes. Since MANET routing is a cooperative process where route information is relayed between nodes, any secure routing mechanism must evaluate the trustworthiness of other nodes. In this research...
