Trust: the power that binds in team supervision of doctoral students

Team supervision of doctoral students adds new dimensions and complexities to relationships within the teams that impact functionality of the team. Trust emerged as a significant theme in recent qualitative research into the quality of team supervision of doctoral students. Trust was cited as a key component in successful team collaborations, and the missing component in dysfunctional teams. Definitions refer to trust as the belief of truthfulness, reliability or faith in another person’s abilities. My hypothesis is that trust operates as a form of power in team supervision. It is a form of power that enables voice, resilience and creativity in teams. This article concludes that placing trust in others in supervisory teams is a deliberate decision by candidates and supervisors. It is a decision to engage in a team context despite known risks and may be understood as a gamble on the reliability of others in the expectation of reciprocity. By conceptualising trust as a form of power, strategies that engender and maintain trust may be utilised more intentionally.     

‘Happy when they arrive,happy when they go home’ – focusing on promoting children’s mental health creates a sense of trust at preschools

A need for research on young children’s mental health has been identified. Moreover, there is a need to enhance teachers’ skills regarding health promotion work in preschool. The aim of the study is to examine the impact of a specific course on mental health promotion among Swedish preschool teachers. Data were gathered through interviews and documentation. A qualitative content analysis was used. Three categories: ‘attention’, ‘belonging’ and ‘personal growth’ – and six subcategories emerged from the analysis. The latent content of these categories is described in the theme: ‘Increased awareness, in thoughts and actions, of promoting mental health may create a sense of trust at preschools’. The results show that a specific course to promote mental health enhanced the teachers’ awareness of mental health which improved their work with children. This contributed to the development of a sense of trust at preschools, which is important to children’s mental health.     

信任对管理团队决策过程和结果影响实证研究

在回顾国外组织信任与团队冲突的文献基础上,提出研究假设,认为团队信任对团队决策绩效有正效应,对团队内的任务冲突和关系冲突具有直接的负效应,而且还具有减弱两种冲突正相关关系的作用。通过对156名企业管理人员的问卷调查和统计分析,验证了理论假设。

网上信用服务对消费者信任感知的影响研究

基于个人信任倾向和五大信用服务工具的相关研究提出假设,以五大信用服务工具对消费者信任感知的影响进行实证研究。结果表明,个人信任倾向显著影响消费者对五大信用服务工具的信任感知;声誉反馈和商誉标识对消费者信任感知影响最大。其次为第三方保障服务和信用印章,第三方支付担保的影响不显著;第三方支付显著影响消费者对第三方保障服务和信用印章服务的感知。     

基于信任的合同柔性改善项目管理绩效研究

发承包双方间的信任关系及合同柔性作为关系治理与合同治理的核心，被视为工程项目管理绩效保障的重要因素。然而，信任、合同柔性作为多维度概念，其深层影响关系并未得到充分解释。本文从信任、合同柔性以及项目管理绩效相互作用剖析入手，构建信任、合同柔性、项目管理绩效结构模型，并依据调查问卷的统计分析结果得出以下结论：诚信信任与能力信任正向影响合同柔性，且正向影响项目管理绩效。制度信任与合同柔性及项目管理绩效的关系并不显著。合同柔性的使用与项目管理绩效间存在显著正相关关系。最后，基于研究结论提出了相关管理启示。     

Trusting Virtual Trust

Can trust evolve on the Internet between virtual strangers? Recently, Pettit answered this question in the negative. Focusing on trust in the sense of ‘dynamic, interactive, and trusting’ reliance on other people, he distinguishes between two forms of trust: primary trust rests on the belief that the other is trustworthy, while the more subtle secondary kind of trust is premised on the belief that the other cherishes one’s esteem, and will, therefore, reply to an act of trust in kind (‘trust-responsiveness’). Based on this theory Pettit argues that trust between virtual strangers is impossible: they lack all evidence about one another, which prevents the imputation of trustworthiness and renders the reliance on trust-responsiveness ridiculous. I argue that this argument is flawed, both empirically and theoretically. In several virtual communities amazing acts of trust between pure virtuals have been observed. I propose that these can be explained as follows. On the one hand, social cues, reputation, reliance on third parties, and participation in (quasi-) institutions allow imputing trustworthiness to varying degrees. On the other, precisely trust-responsiveness is also relied upon, as a necessary supplement to primary trust. In virtual markets, esteem as a fair trader is coveted while it contributes to building up one’s reputation. In task groups, a hyperactive style of action may be adopted which amounts to assuming (not: inferring) trust. Trustors expect that their virtual co-workers will reply in kind while such an approach is to be considered the most appropriate in cyberspace. In non-task groups, finally, members often display intimacies while they are confident someone else ‘out there’ will return them. This is facilitated by the one-to-many, asynchronous mode of communication within mailing lists.

论缔约过失的损害赔偿

权利受到具体损害的具体方式决定了法律的救济措施,具体的救济措施充实了权利的真正意涵。缔约过失损害方式,表现为非过失方为与相对方订立合同所产生的费用支出,或非过失方因相对方违背"诚实"原则丧失与第三人缔约的机会损失。该损害方式与其损害的生成期间密切相关,又与过失内容相辅相成。损害方式和过失内容将缔约过失损害赔偿限于信赖利益损失。在缔约过失中发生的人身损害、不符合费用支出的财产损失及商业秘密损害应适用侵权责任或不当得利或恢复原状而非缔约过失责任。
