....through increasing the possibility for experience and interaction. Next, Bernard Barber attempts to solidify a sociological definition of trust. He views trust predominantly as a phenomenon of social structural and cultural variables and not. as a function of individual personality variables. [9] This definition strays from Deutsch s individual, subjective thoughts on trust, and aligns itself more closely to Luhmann s ideas that trust exists at a social level. Finally, Diego Gambetta [10] amalgamates work from such diverse areas as biology and economics to define trust as a particular ....

....trust can be considered the expectation held by each member of a society that the existing natural and moral social orders will persist. This is to say that members of society have an inherent trust or faith that the sun will rise tomorrow and society will exist more or less as it did today [1]. A. Natural Order Natural order relies upon the persistence of the actual environment. For example: every university student, upon arriving at school each morning, has an implicit expectation that the university buildings will still be there, standing as they had been the day before. In the ....

.... can only be realized if society continues to exist) This idea embodies the ancient law of cause and e#ect, which states that what people experience in their lives (e#ects) are direct results of past causes (cause) This idea of case and e#ect (or karma) is necessary for continued moral actions [1]. It is accepted almost universally by sociologists that the ability of an individual to act rationally and deliberately, to e#ectively plan and make decisions, they must hold in trust many features of the social order [5] Garfinkel conducted many clever and successful experiments that involved ....

INTRODUCTION Trust is a major factor in all kinds of relationships (see, for example, [10,1,9]) not the least of which is the buyer seller relationship [7] It is important to realize that trust is, in fact, a two way phenomenon.

....trusting persons judgment of the other persons interests. Some researchers are not concerned with this negative view of the actors interests to be trustworthy but do include an expectation that the trusted will carry out certain tasks. Thus expectation of action plays an important role in trust (Barber 1983; Gambetta 1988; Dasgupta 1988) The trusting actor has reason to believe the expectations to be true. This belief is commonly supported by past experience and future incentives (Baier 1986) For Coleman the incentives of the trusted are implicit. He claims that the trust relationship is a ....

....to link it to the overall performance of the network. 4.0 Defining Trust There appears to be a lack of consensus on the definition of trust, and as a result there is considerable uncertainty about the components of trust and how it develops. The abstract nature of trust is summarised by Barber (1983 p.7) who states that, both in serious social thought and everyday discourse it is assumed that the meaning of trust . is so well known that it can be left undefined or to contextual implications . Several specific definitions of trust in an organizational and interpersonal context have ....

....to complete trust. There is also a situation where an agent does not have an opinion of another s trustworthiness, i.e. the agent is said to be ignorant of the other agent s trustworthiness. A trusting action is taken despite uncertainty of outcome but in anticipation of a positive outcome [Bar83, Bai85, Mis96]. This may draw some to conclude that trust is merely a game of chance, which is untrue. More than being a blind guess, a trusting decision is based on the truster s relevant prior experiences and knowledge [Har93, Js96] The experiences and knowledge forms the basis for trust in future familiar ....

There are many views of trust (Barber, 1983; Shapiro, 1987) and there are more than a few reasons for this. Two of these reasons stand out to be presented in particular, since they touch on the main problems that stand in the way of formalising the concept. Firstly, we are all experts on trust, at least our own brand of it, and there is ....

.... had not read Luhmann s work until he was well into his own formulation) As a sociologist, Barber leans towards Luhmann and away from Deutsch in viewing trust predominantly as a phenomenon of social structural and cultural variables and not : as a function of individual personality variables (Barber, 1983, page 5) Barber s view of trust is that it is an aspect of all social relationships. Moreover, it implies some form of expectation about the future (see Barber, 1983 , page 7. See also chapter 2 of Luhmann, 1979 ) These expectations are for the most part based on relationships and social ....
