A dynamic view on trust: Development and consequences of trust in teams

目前的提案致力于研究团队中信任的发展和团队动力。为以前的DFG项目收集的数据提供了一个不可预见的机会来检查团队从成立到解散的发展。日志文件数据可用于为心理上有意义的结构创建代理并检查随时间变化的动态关系(Drescher等人，2014；Drescher等人，2011；在当前的提案中，我们计划验证这些日志文件代理，以便分析以下迄今尚未解决的研究问题：1.随着时间的推移，信任的前因、信任的结果之间的动态关系是什么？2.哪些因素影响信任的前因、信任的前因和团队中信任的结果之间的动态相互作用？具体地说，我们计划评估随着时间的推移可信度方面(能力、仁慈、正直)和信任之间的曲线关系，即每个可信性方面在集团生命周期中的相对重要性。此外，我们计划处理缓和共同领导与发展信任之间关系的因素，例如环境的稳定。此外，我们希望考察信任与绩效和离职之间的时间关系，以及调节这种关系的情境变量(如环境的稳定性和信任的不对称性)。检验这些时间动态是至关重要的，因为信任通常被定义为随着时间的推移而发展的新兴结构(De Jong&Elfring，2010)，但很少以动态的方式进行分析(Lewicki，2006；Pitariu&Ployhart，2010)。因此，我们提案中概述的研究有助于发展信任和团队动力的文献。

The current proposal strives to examine the development of trust in teams and team dynamics. The data collected for a former DFG-project provide the unforeseen opportunity to examine team development from foundation until disbandment. Log-file data can be used to create proxies for psychologically meaningful constructs and examine dynamic relationships over time (Drescher et al., 2014; Drescher et al., 2011; Korsgaard et al., 2014), which have, however, to be validated with psychometric measures from surveys (Drescher et al., 2014).In the current proposal, we plan to validate these log-file proxies in order to analyze the following, so far unaddressed research questions:1. What are the dynamic relationships among antecedents of trust, trust, and consequences of trust in teams over time?2. Which factors influence the dynamic interplay between antecedents of trust, trust, and consequences of trust in teams?In specific, we plan to assess the curvilinear relationship between trustworthiness facets (ability, benevolence, integrity) and trust over time, i.e., the relative importance of each of the trustworthiness facets over the group life-cycle. Moreover, we plan to address factors moderating the relationship between shared leadership and the development of trust, e.g., the stability of the environment. In addition, we want to examine the temporal relationship between trust and both performance and turnover as well as contextual variables (such as stability of the environment and trust asymmetry) moderating this relationship.Examining these temporal dynamics is of crucial importance as trust is usually defined as an emergent construct that develops over time (de Jong & Elfring, 2010), however it is only rarely analyzed in a dynamic way (Lewicki, 2006; Pitariu & Ployhart, 2010). The studies outlined in our proposal therefore contribute to the literature on the development of trust and team dynamics.
