Trust is a fundamental characteristic of organizational relationships and one of the most frequently studied concepts in management research today. This annual PDW is aimed at advancing research on trust by serving as a platform for scholars to discuss critical issues, engage in dialogue, and help further research-in-progress. The workshop consists of three segments: (1) The first segment starts off with a panel discussion, in which leading scholars share their thought-provoking ideas on this year's focal topic of "trust & levels of analysis"; (2) For the second segment, attendees break into roundtables to discuss various relevant issues in current trust research. Each table will start out with a particular topic but may move on to other issues as the discussion unfolds. Topics may include (but are not limited to): trust across levels of analysis, trust asymmetries, trust violation and recovery, trust in teams, trust in interorganizational relationships, trust & emotions, trust in networks, trust dynamics, and trust and contracts; (3) The third segment 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.*
