Trust: Distinguishing Between Trustworthiness & Trust w/ Dr. Roger Mayer

We continue our exploration of trust theory in this episode with a conversation about how trust and trustworthiness are connected, but distinct. Our guest scholar is Dr. Roger Mayer, Professor of Management, Innovation & Entrepreneurship at North Carolina State University.

Dr. Mayer’s research is focused on trust, as well as employee decision-making, attitudes, and effectiveness. A leading scholar on trust in organizations, his research has been published in many premiere scholarly journals. It has been cited tens of thousands of times in the published literature across a wide variety of fields.

He authored a theory of trust often referred to as the ABI theory with David Schoorman and James Davis which was published in Academy of Management Review (AMR) to wide acclaim. His recent research with colleagues finds that this theory helps clarify our understanding of such crucial current societal issues as how much a person trusts the federal government, and how to build police-public trust.

Professor Mayer's work on trust is large, but these publications provide a useful introduction to his scholarship addressing the topic:

Mayer, R. C., Davis, J. H., & Schoorman, F. D. (1995). An integrative model of organizational trust. Academy of management review, 20(3), 709-734.

Mayer, R. C., & Gavin, M. B. (2005). Trust in management and performance: Who minds the shop while the employees watch the boss?. Academy of management journal, 48(5), 874-888.

The Social Science for Public Good Podcast is a project of the Virginia Tech Institute for Policy and Governance and VT Publishing intended to make social science theories accessible and available to individuals and organizations seeking to promote social change.
