Trust is a fundamental feature of organizational relationships and one of the most widely studied concepts in management research. This annual PDW advances research on trust by providing a forum for scholars to discuss critical issues, exchange ideas, and further develop research in progress.
The workshop will consist of three segments:
1. Panel discussion
Leading scholars will share thought-provoking perspectives on this year's focal topic: trust and levels of analysis.
2. Roundtable discussions
Participants will join facilitated roundtables to discuss current issues in trust research. Each table will begin with a specific topic, but the conversation may expand as the discussion unfolds. Topics may include:
* Trust across levels of analysis
* Trust asymmetries
* Trust violation and recovery
* Trust in teams
* Trust in interorganizational relationships
* Trust and emotions
* Trust in networks
* Trust dynamics
* Trust and contracts
3. Paper development workshop (only for participants who submitted a paper)
Facilitators will provide in-depth feedback on work-in-progress trust research submitted in advance by workshop participants. Manuscripts submitted for the paper development workshop should be at an advanced developmental stage, targeted to a scholarly management journal, and no longer than 40 double-spaced pages. To participate in this segment, please upload your manuscript as part of the pre-registration process by July 15, 2026.
