A Model of Trust, Moods, and Emotions in Multiagent Systems and its Empirical Evaluation Report Title We study the interplay of moods, emotions, and trust in decisionmaking contexts characterized by commitments among agents. We develop a general approach representing the relationships among these concepts via a Bayesian network model. Our approach incorporates insights from the literature and p...

In the paper the authors present a model of trust where they integrate cultural specifics along with the manifestation and dynamic of trust. The model consists of trust, relationship commitment and values affected by the current market situation and cultural specifics. Application of the model is given by the comparison of business relationships on two former Yugoslav markets, Serbia and Croati...

Trust has been a central construct in studies of inter-firm relationships. Many operational, organizational, social, and cultural factors have been identified to have significant impact on inter-firm trust. In this study, we investigate the role of information technology in generating inter-firm trust and the consequences of this trust in the context of supply networks. Using structural equatio...

The positive relationship between trust and purchase-related variables (such as willingness to buy) has been widely reported in literature. By implication, it is sometimes suggested that violation of trust will lead to negative consequences. However, there is a dearth of empirical support for the consequences of trust violation. In the current study, we examine a research model that proposes th...

The literature on trust in agent societies collects a huge number of works that analyse almost any facets of this concept from nearly every point of view. Nevertheless, an accepted and stable formal model of trust is still missing. In this paper, we address this remarkable flaw of the current research by reporting the main ideas of a probabilistic model of trust. Such a model is based on a quan...

This paper investigates the relationship between neighbourhood ethnic and linguistic heterogeneity and the formation of an individual's local and general trust. A wide literature across economics and sociology has recognised the importance of trust in facilitating economic growth and development and it is therefore important to investigate elements of social organisation that encourage or inhib...

The growing trend to social networking and increased prevalence of new mobile devices lead to the emergence of mobile social networking applications where users are able to share experience in an impromptu way as they move. However, this is at risk for mobile users since they may not have any knowledge about the users they socially connect with. Trust management then appears as a promising deci...

Research on trust in buyer–supplier relationships has tended to focus on the performance outcomes of a trusting relationship, as well as the processes that serve to build trust. Largely absent from the buyer–supplier literature is an in-depth examination of activities that break down trust, and the resulting effect on supplier trust in the buyer. The authors propose and test amodel that evaluat...

As global green trends became more prevalent, green marketing also developed into an important issue. Although prior literature explored the main factors affecting green trust, it was inconclusive as to how environmental friendliness could affect the green trust in green marketing. This study aims to focus on the positive influence of environmental friendliness on green trust, and explore the m...

The effects of e-commerce institutional mechanisms on trust and online purchase have traditionally been understood in the initial online purchase context. This study extends this literature by exploring the role of ecommerce institutional mechanisms in the online repurchase context. In doing so, it responds to the emerging call for understanding the institutional context under which customer tr...
