Call for Participants, 2013 AOM Professional Development Workshop (PDW) titled:
Trust between Individuals and Organizations
Scheduled: Friday, Aug 9 2013 12:00PM - 3:00PM at WDW Yacht and Beach Club Resort in Cape
Cod D (Lake Buena Vista, Florida)
(1) The first segment starts with a panel discussion, in which leading scholars present their views
on the hotly debated issue of whether organizations are able to trust. The goal of the panel
discussion is to make explicit divergent assumptions, and to develop a richer repertoire of
arguments for and against organizations as social actors with trusting abilities. Subsequently, the
workshop breaks into groups that will discuss questions previously submitted by workshop
participants. A requirement for registration for the PDW is to submit at least one discussion
question in advance pertaining to current issues in the study of trust between individuals and
organizations (see below for details on how to submit). Questions may relate (but are not limited)
to: Dynamic evolution of trust over time Relationships between interpersonal and
interorganizational trust Trade-offs between methods of trust research Difficulties in the
measurement of trust Detrimental consequences of (interpersonal or interorganizational) trust
Substitutes for trust Underexplored sources of trust Context-specificity of trust Distinct types
of trust Interactions between trust and distrust Avenues to trust repair
(2) After a short break, the second segment of the program consists of a paper development
workshop, in which the facilitators provide in-depth feedback on work-in-progress trust research
previously submitted by workshop participants. These papers should ideally be close to
submission to a scholarly management journal and must not exceed 40 double-spaced pages.
Registration requirements: For segment 1 (discussion): Submit at least one discussion question by
email to
trustpdw@gmail.com no later than August 2, 2013. For segment 2 (paper development):
