Trust
Trust
Trust is a key ingredient in human interaction. Where trust is lagging, one needs rules, procedures, defence mechanisms, and institutions to protect one’s interests. In our times, trust is much talked about, but little practiced in everyday organisational life. 

One bureaucratic procedure follows the other, just to satisfy the information beast that controls most spheres of life –whether it is education, healthcare, protection of personal interests, and so forth. 

It is time to re-evaluate the essence of trust and create organisations in which trust rules rather than anxiety, fear, or mistrust.

Hans Roosendaal and I wrote this article to zoom in on the ways in which trust reduces organisational complexity and uncertainty. We used Zucker's framework to understand the variety and development of trust in organisations, which distinguishes three types of trust: process-based, institutional-based and characteristic-based trust. We added a fourth one: values-based trust.
