A Field Study of the Effect of Interpersonal Trust on Virtual Collaborative Relationship Performance

Abstract: This article examines the relationship between interpersonal trust and virtual collaborative relationship (VCR) performance. Findings from a study of 10 operational telemedicine projects in health care delivery systems are presented. The results presented here confirm, extend, and apparently contradict prior studies of interpersonal trust. Four types of interpersonal trust-calculative, competence, relational, and integrated are identified and operationalized as a single construct. We found support for an association between calculative, competence, and relational interpersonal trust and performance. Our finding of a positive association between integrated interpersonal trust and performance not only yields the strongest support for a relationship between trust and VCR performance but also contradicts prior research. Our findings indicate that the different types of trust are interrelated in that positive assessments of all three types of trust are necessary if VCRs are to have strongly positive performance. The study also established that if any one type of trust is negative, then it is very likely that VCR performance will not be positive. Our findings indicate that integrated types of interpersonal trust are interdependent, and the various patterns of interaction among them are such that they are mutually reinforcing. These interrelationships and interdependencies of the different types of interpersonal trust must be taken into account by researchers as they attempt to understand the impact of trust on virtual collaborative relationship performance.

Do You Know What You Look Like?: Interpersonal Relationships In Education

Abstract: Much of the work in this book has originated from an international project called "Education for Teachers" Educational researchers from Holland, USA, Australia and Israel look at an important element of teacher behaviour - that is the interpersonal actions which create and maintain a positive classroom atmosphere The book uses systems theory and family therapy to analyze what happens in classrooms, looking at classes as "big families" It provides a simple way to collect feedback from participants in communication in education (students, teachers, principles, student-teacher supervisors) Thus for example, differences between students' perceptions and the teachers self-perception of the teacher communication style are are formed This feedback can be used to improve teaching The book reviews research on communication styles of teachers in secondary education with the help of the questionnaire on teacher interaction and includes implications for teacher programs

Trust and Adaptation in Relational Contracting

Abstract: Trust, which occurs at the organizational and interpersonal levels, is generally believed to be important for the success ol interfirm relationships. We explore the effects of interaction between the two types of trust on negotiators' motivation to solve problems of adaptation in relational contracting. What we find is that too much trust is as bad as too little. Solutions are furthest from optimal when both organizational and interpersonal trust are high or both are low.
