Nowadays, online shopping has become popular among consumers. As such, gaining loyal online shopping customers has become a rising concern for online shopping vendors. In this study, we investigated the hierarchical relationships among Lewicki and Bunker's three different types of trust, namely, calculus-based trust, knowledge-based trust, and identification-based trust, in the context of online shopping and their impacts on customer satisfaction and loyalty. A total of 104 responses from online shopping users were analyzed to test the proposed model and its hypotheses using Partial Least Squares (PLS). The results showed that, in the online environment, hierarchical relationships between different types of trust exist and that, among them, knowledge-based trust has the strongest impact on customer satisfaction. This finding implied that practitioners should focus on developing appropriate online strategies for building trust-based relationships with online customers.

The importance of communities of practice(CoP) as an organizational informal unit for fostering knowledge transfer and sharing gains a lot of attention from KM researchers and practitioners. Since most of CoPs are formulated online these days, the credibility or trustworthiness of knowledge contents circulated within a certain CoP should be considered thoroughly for them to be fully utilized safely. Here comes the need for an appropriate trust measuring methodology to determine the true value of knowledge given by unknown people through an online channel. In this paper, an improved trust measuring method is proposed using new trust variables such as level of degrees derived from the relationships among community users. In addition, activeness, relevance, and usefulness of the knowledge contents themselves, which are calculated automatically using a text categorization technique, are also used for trust measurement. The proposed framework incorporates fuzzy set and calculation concepts to help build trust matrices and models, which are used to measure the level of trust involved in specific knowledge artifacts concerned.

Trust-based solutions provide some form of payment to peers to encourage good behavior. The problem with trust management systems is that they require prior knowledge to work. In other words, peers are vulnerable to attack if they do not have knowledge or correct knowledge of other peers in a trust management system. Therefore, considering only trust is inadequate when a decision is made to identify the best set of peers to utilize. In order to solve the problem, we propose a distributed decision-making mechanism for wireless peer-to-peer (P2P) networks based on game theory and relevant trust mechanisms in which we incorporate the element of trust and risk into a single model. The main idea of our mechanism is to use utility function to express the relationship between benefits and costs of peers, and then make the decision based on expected utility as well as risk attitude in a fully distributed fashion. The unique feature of our mechanism is that it not only helps a peer to select its partners, but also mitigates vulnerabilities in trust-based mechanisms. Through analysis and experiments, we believe our approach is useful for peers to make the decision regarding who to interact with. In addition, it is also a good starting point for exploring tradeoffs among risk, trust and utility.

This study is concerned with exploring how much initial trust transfers between the two websites based on their design levels. Internet users tend to perceive trust towards websites when their design factors look persuasive. For example, well-designed websites can arouse more trust in users than poorly-designed websites. Online trust transfer between websites has been studied among several researchers. However, there is no study investigating how much initial trust transfers from well-designed websites to poorly-designed websites or vice versa. In this sense, this study fills this research void by empirically analyzing initial trust transfer between the two websites based on their design levels. Empirical results prove that design levels of websites affect initial trust transfer between websites significantly.

본 논문은 글로벌 비즈니스 협상과 신뢰요인 사이에 어떠한 관계가 있는지를 확인하는 데 연구목적을 두었다. 크리스틴 블랭클리(2010)는 비즈니스 협상에 있어서 각 단계별로 영향을 미치는 신뢰수준을 계산기반의 신뢰, 지식기반의 신뢰, 그리고 동일체기반의 신뢰 등 3가지 유형으로 나누어 지적한 바 있다. 이러한 관점에서 본 연구는 중국인 거래 파트너와의 비즈니스 협상경험을 가진 한국인과 캐나다인의 협상에 초점을 맞추어 각각의 신뢰수준과 비즈니스 협상 프로세스 사이의 상관 관계를 분석하였다. 연구 결과 한국 응답자들의 경우 계산기반의 신뢰와 동일체기반의 신뢰는 협상 분위기에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타난 반면, 캐나다 응답자들의 경우는 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 캐나다 응답자들은 비즈니스 협상과정에서 지식기반의 신뢰가 각 단계별로 가장 크게 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this research is to understand the general consumer knowledge and adoption intention of nanotechnology products, one of the advanced scientific fields. We examined consumers' knowledge of innovation products based on nanotechnology, by gender and age group, which are divided into benefits, cost, and trust perception. As a result, the benefits were highly perceived in the order of perceived usefulness, perceived gains, and perceived ease of use. In general, it was found that men and older age group perceived the benefits of nanotechnology to be relatively higher than women and younger age groups did. In terms of cost, perceived risk was relatively higher than other variables and a high innovation resistance appeared in the younger 30s group. Finally, we found that trust for nano-related institution is relatively lower than trust for nano-related people and trust for nanotechnology itself.

Despite the growing emphasis on the importance of knowledge exchange among supply chain participants, few companies have fully exploited the knowledge resources held by their supply chain partners. Among many reasons for this phenomenon, recent literature on inter-firm knowledge exchange identifies knowledge complementarities between the supply channel partners as an important determinant of knowledge exchange. Firms participating in a supply chain are likely to exchange partners' complementary knowledge. In order to extract value from them, it is important to recognize the difference between the potential value and the implementation of this potential value. However, the literature fails to distinguish between potential knowledge complementarities and implemented knowledge complementarities. In order to realize the value of potential knowledge complementarities, knowledge should be exchanged and effectively integrated in the supply channel. Further, investigating inter-firm knowledge exchange from both partners' perspectives is important especially when there are interdependencies between the channel partners. The purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of potential knowledge complementarities on knowledge exchange in buyer-supplier relationships by looking at both partners' perspectives. This research also includes trust in partner's competence and inter-organizational information systems (IOIS) as they are relevant when the complementary knowledge flows between organizations. The data required for this field study was collected from 70 buyers and their suppliers in three multinational enterprises in two different industries (Automobile manufacturing and Telecommunication services) headquartered in Korea. The results indicate that potential knowledge complementarities between buyer and supplier do not directly influence knowledge exchange, but indirectly through trust in partner's competence. And the results indicate that competence-based trust and IOIS have direct effects on knowledge exchange. Empirical results also show that IOIS moderates the relationship between potential knowledge complementarities and knowledge exchange. This study is a first attempt to empirically verify the theoretical model about potential knowledge complementarities and to investigate the impact of potential knowledge complementarities on interfirm knowledge exchange. From a theoretical perspective, this study not only clarifies the distinction between potential knowledge complementarities and implemented knowledge complementarities, but also develops an instrument to measure the concept of potential knowledge complementarities in the context of operational and planning knowledge in a supply chain. Further, we develop a theoretical framework suggesting that potential knowledge complementarities of partners in a supply chain affect knowledge exchange directly and indirectly through competence-based trust. The findings from this study have some managerial implications for practicing managers as well. First, buyers should search for suppliers that have potential complementary knowledge, which can be integrated to create synergy through interfirm knowledge exchange. Furthermore, firms must develop mechanisms to identify potential complementary knowledge of partners. Second, firms should continue their endeavor to develop their own unique knowledge so that their knowledge can benefit the entire supply channel. Finally, trust among supply chain partners turns out to be an important factor for interfirm knowledge exchange. Therefore, effective management for engendering trustworthy buyer-supplier relationships should receive appropriate attention from managers.

Blog have become very popular with Internet users as one of the latest forms of online communication as well as knowledge sharing tools. However, blogs generate growing concerns regarding information privacy issues. This study, based on social exchange theory, presents results about bloggers' information sharing behavior. The 157 surveys are collected from a large university in the eastern U.S. The survey results indicate that trust which has four second order factors: economy based trust, trust in reciprocity, trust in other bloggers and trust in social interaction positively affects bloggers' information sharing behavior. However, online information privacy concerns have a negative impact on the relationship between trust and bloggers' information sharing behavior.

본 연구는 융 복합 시대에 컨설팅 협업 과정에서 컨설턴트 간 신뢰가 지식공유 활동을 매개로 컨설팅 만족도에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 수행되었다. 신뢰는 역량기반신뢰와 배려기반신뢰로 각각 나누어 그 영향 정도를 알아보고자 하였다. 현업에서 활동하는 컨설턴트들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 회귀분석을 통하여 가설을 검증하였다. 연구 결과, 컨설턴트 간 역량기반신뢰와 배려기반신뢰 모두 지식공유 활동과 컨설팅 만족도에 유의한 영향을 미쳤으며, 역량기반신뢰가 높을수록 그 영향 정도는 좀 더 높게 나타났다. 또한 지식공유 활동은 컨설턴트 간 신뢰와 컨설팅 만족도와의 영향 관계를 부분 매개하였다. 융 복합시대에 지식의 형태는 더욱 다양한 모습으로 나타나고 있다. 컨설팅 만족도를 높이기 위해 컨설턴트 스스로 자신의 역량을 제고할 뿐 아니라 지속적인 지식의 축적과 지식공유 활동에 대한 좀 더 구체적인 방안을 연구해볼 필요가 있다.
