In Time We Trust?: The Effects of Duration on the Dynamics of Trust-Building Processes in Inter-Organizational Relationships

TLDR
In this article, a new conceptual model of trust incorporating the concept of duration into the process of building trust and commitment within an IOR is proposed, based on the notion that trust serves as a viable means for better comprehension of the underlying dynamics of IORs as it reinforces positive outcomes and abates the complications due to opportunism and uncertainty.
Abstract
Inter-organizational relationships (IORs) have become pervasive in the last quarter of the 20th century. This study is based on the notion that trust serves as a viable means for better comprehension of the underlying dynamics of IORs as it reinforces the positive outcomes and abates the complications due to opportunism and uncertainty. A growing interest of research on trust notwithstanding, studies on the co-evolution of trust, its antecedents, and effects on commitment over time are rather scarce. This study addresses this gap with a new conceptual model of trust incorporating the concept of duration into the process of building trust and commitment within an IOR.
