Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.

This innovative Research Agenda brings together established scholars from a diverse range of disciplines including artificial intelligence, psychology, medicine and law enforcement to outline and assess current trust research, emphasizing how trust is a critical issue in the 21st century affecting countless areas of the modern world.

A Research Agenda for Trust analyzes the concept of trust within a variety of contexts, such as sociology, computer science, cognitive psychology, engineering, organizational behavior, AI, entrepreneurship, healthcare, neuroscience, and nuclear non-proliferation. Encouraging multidimensional and interdisciplinary research, chapters underline the connections between differing disciplines. Using the 1995 Mayer, Davis, & Schoorman model of trust as an initial starting point, contributors highlight that successful trust relationships in the modern world are swiftly deteriorating and argue that as a result, research must move forward in order to develop better, healthier and more trusting relationships.

Imaginative, incisive and accessible, this Research Agenda will be an enlightening read for academics, students and researchers specializing in business ethics and trust, human resource management, organisation studies, social sciences, sociology and social policy. Considering interpersonal relationships within a variety of professional contexts, this book will also be of benefit to practitioners working in human resources, business management and governance.
Critical Acclaim
‘This groundbreaking book provides a much-needed map of interdisciplinary trust research. Use it to explore how trust is formed, maintained, and sometimes broken, in a variety of contexts – from purely social relationships to the complex interplay of people with emerging technologies like AI and increasingly autonomous robots.’
– John Lee, University of Wisconsin-Madison, US

‘This volume brings together a broad range of social science scholarship loosely centered around the influential Mayer, Davis and Schoorman (1995) model of trust. This new collection is particularly valuable for including discussions of cutting-edge topics, including artificial intelligence, computer sciences, autonomous technologies and the neuroscience underpinnings of trust. As trust in political, social, legal, administrative, and scientific authorities (or the lack of it) becomes a more pressing concern in the 21 st century both scholars and policy makers will find this volume informative and valuable.’
– Tom Tyler, Yale Law School, US

‘Trust is a problem, or a solution, for many issues facing society today. This book shares insights from leading researchers regarding the role of trust in contexts ranging from technology to public institutions to business. The book is a key resource on the subject!’
– Kurt Dirks, Washington University in St. Louis, US
