“…As there is no generally accepted concept of trust (Korsgaard et al 2014;Li 2007;Ring 2003), the present work relies on the well-established model suggested by Mayer et al (1995), who define trust as ''the willingness of a party to be vulnerable to the actions of another party based on the expectation that the other will perform a particular action important to the trustor, irrespective of the ability to monitor or control that other party '' (ibid, p. 712). Trust is based on the personal predisposition to trust and on three trustworthiness factors: ability, benevolence and integrity (Mayer et al 1995).…”

The ability to transfer knowledge effectively in the networks of small and medium-sized firms (SMEs) is paramount for supporting firm competitiveness. Our research is the first one that explores the joint effect of trust and control mechanisms on knowledge transfer in the case of networks of SMEs. We use a multiple case study approach based on six Italian networks of SMEs. We analyse the joint impact of different ethical based trustworthiness factors-namely benevolence and integrity-and the levers of control (LOCs)-namely, belief, boundary, diagnostic and interactive LOCs-on knowledge transfer between SMEs in networks. We find that trust substitutes for the implementation of boundary, diagnostic, and belief tools, while it works jointly with interactive tools in order to support knowledge transfer. These insights not only provide a rich foundation for follow-up research, but also inform SME managers about how to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of knowledge transfer with their network partners.

“…Data analysis was conducted using LISREL (Jöreskog & Sorbom, 1993) and MPlus (Muthén & Muthén, 1998-2007). Before hypotheses were tested the measurement model was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and measurement invariance (MEI) testing.…”

Despite recent theoretical advances, the pattern of trust development between coworkers has yet to receive focused longitudinal attention. Furthermore, current theory suggests that employees attend to an array of independent trust cues in any given situation but fails to identify which cues are important when. In a four-wave longitudinal field study, we demonstrate how new coworker intentions to engage in trust behaviors (reliance and disclosure) evolve during employee socialization and examine the trust cues that prime decisions to trust. We present a latent growth model of trust development that reveals, for the first time, that reliance and disclosure intentions in early work relationships develop in a positive, nonlinear pattern over time. Furthermore, the study indicates that propensity to trust has a statistically significant effect on the initial status of intention to rely on and disclose information to coworkers but not on changes in trust behavior over time. The multiwave design permits comprehensive assessment of the change in impact of different trust cues over time and demonstrates that the importance of certain cues varies depending primarily on the type of trust in question and potentially changes as a relationship matures. We discuss the theoretical implications and directions for future research.

“…As stated earlier, future research should pursue the Bcross-indigenization geocentric approach^by developing more geocentric theories (e.g., Jukka, Blomqvist, Li, & Gan, 2016;Li, 2007aLi, , b, 2008Li, , 2016. However, we must remind everyone that the Bindigenization-from-within approach^is still necessary to develop relevant indigenous theories before we can effectively engage in Bcross-indigenization geocentric approach^to developing geocentric theories (e.g., Li, 2006Li, , 2014Lin et al, 2015).…”
