This article integrates strategic factors influencing trust with social contextual factors to create a broader understanding of interpersonal trust across organizational boundaries. In contrast to more passive models of trust development, it introduces the construct of threat-reducing behavior as an active interpersonal strategy for building and maintaining trust. Using a sample of 207 executiv...

This paper examines whether there is an association between preexposure trust in technology and subsequent glance behavior when interacting with a technology that was relatively novel for the majority of participants. After rating their level of trust in technology on a questionnaire, participants drove one of two vehicle models on a highway and engaged in a voice-based navigation address entry...

System troubleshooters keep important organizational systems operating. This study examines factors influencing system troubleshooter trust in their supervisors, contrasting experiential and non-experiential factors. Traditional research suggests that trust forms through interactional experience. Recent research indicates that initial interpersonal trust develops through non-experiential factor...

Contemporary feminist scholarship seeks the development of transnational conversations between women in different geopolitical spaces in order to confront the problems of a global age. Yet, if these conversations are predicated on Eurocentric and ahistorical understandings of South/North, first/third world and metropole/colony, feminism risks replicating these dichotomies in the name of a unive...

The strategy may be represented by a strategic map (SM).According to Kaplan and Norton, SM are built up to obtain constant communication of the objec-tives to all employees. They have a simple layout, are general and consistent, and help achieve better implementation of strategies so that employees tolerate changes that they initially resisted and distrusted in their companies.This paper sugges...

We consider two methods of defining a regression analogue to a trimmed mean. The first was suggested by Koenker and Bassett and uses their concept of regression quantiles. Its asymptotic behavior is completely analogous to that of a trimmed mean. The second method uses residuals from a preliminary estimator. Its asymptotic behavior depends heavily on the preliminary estimate; it behaves, in gen...

• We propose an estimator of the Pareto tail index m of a distribution, that competes well with the Hill, Pickands and moment estimators. Unlike the above estimators, that are based only on the extreme observations, the proposed estimator uses all observations; its idea rests in the tail behavior of the sample mean X̄n, having a simple structure under heavy-tailed F . The observations, partition...

The breakdown point behavior of M-estimators in linear models with xed designs, arising from planned experiments or qualitative factors, is characterized. Particularly, this behavior at xed designs is quite diierent from that at designs which can be corrupted by outliers|the situation prevailing in the literature. For xed designs, the breakdown points of robust M-estimators (those with bounded ...

In order to solve the problems of trust evaluation in the field of online auction, this paper designs a trust model composed of multi-key-factors trust path. Based on the existing trust model, this new model tries to solve the problems of no-standard, no-view and no-prevention. It divided the trust into direct trust and recommended trust. Each trust Calculation depends on its path. As we know, ...

Robustizing Robust M-Estimation Using Deterministic Annealing S. Z. Li School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Nanyang Technological University Singapore 639798 [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper presents a modi ed robust M-estimator referred to as annealing M-estimator (AM-estimator) to avoid problems with M-estimator. The AM-estimator combines the annealing technique into the...
