We describe the results of a series of tests upon a class of new methods of trust region type for solving the nonlinear network optimization problem. The trust region technique considered is characterized by the use of the innnity norm and of inexact projections on the network constraints. The results are encouraging and show that this approach is particularly useful in solving large-scale nonl...

background and objectives: motivated employees are probably the most valuable resource of the contemporary organizations. evidence shows the significant impact of perceived organizational justice on the attitudes of employees, including their trust. to further investigate the issue in the context of health organizations, this study aimed to explore the relationship between perceived organizatio...

This paper examines the impact of trust and uncertainty on online prescription filling. Drawing on prior research in consumer trust and theory of transaction cost economics, this paper proposes a research model to investigate the precedents of trust, the sources of uncertainty, and their relationships with the consumer’s intention to adopt online prescription filling. The model was empirically ...

South Africa holds the promise of a fast take-off in mobile commerce (M-commerce), potentially leapfrogging the country past its low Internet penetration. However, consumers demonstrate a lack of enthusiasm, possibly due to a lack of trust. This research investigates a model that incorporates trust and risk factors to explore adoption of M-commerce. A survey was used to test the trust model usi...

In this paper we analyze how the spatiality of interactions influences trust creation in multi-site corporate innovation projects. By drawing on insights from the discussion on initial and gradual trust and connecting them to contributions from the field of economic geography, we examine different antecedents of trust and their dependence on face-to-face interaction. We thereby illustrate the c...

Military communities in tactical networks must often maintain high group solidarity based on the trustworthiness of participating individual entities where collaboration is critical to performing team-oriented missions. Group trust is regarded as more important than trust of an individual entity since consensus among or compliance of participating entities with given protocols may significantly...

This research examines how website trust differs across cultures (using a four-country sample that includes Canada, the U.S., Germany, and Japan). More specifically, the research looks at institutional-based trust (McKnight et al, 2002) and addresses: (1) how consumer attitudes towards security, privacy, legitimacy of the online vendor, and quality assurance differ across cultures in the contex...

This paper presents evidence that generalized trust promotes health. Children of immigrants in a broad set of European countries with ancestry from across the world are studied. Individuals are examined within country of residence using variation in trust across countries of ancestry. The approach addresses reverse causality and concerns that the trust measure picks up institutional factors in ...

Although research shows that acceptance, trust, and risk perception are often related, little is known about the underlying patterns of causality among the three constructs. In the context of a waterborne disease outbreak, we explored via zeroorder/partial correlation analysis whether acceptance predicts both trust and risk perception (associationist model), or whether trust influences risk per...
