Dispositional Trust
The level of trust that exists before your audience interacts with anyone from your organization, shaped by personal backgrounds, common beliefs, and natural inclinations.
Rational Trust
Predominantly established by evaluating past achievements. It involves analyzing previous performance to predict future outcomes based on a cost/benefit analysis.
Affinitive Trust
Cultivated through positive engagements showcasing active listening. Potential disruptions may arise from staff turnover and conflicting relationships.
Systems-Based Trust
Helps mitigate individuals' risk levels in potential trust connections and may reduce the immediate need for other trust types. This enables individuals to collaborate effectively with less emphasis on interpersonal trust.
The Trust Ecology Framework
The Trust Ecology framework, created by renowned social scientist Professor Marc Stern, explores trust from a behavioral perspective, acknowledging that trust is not solely reliant on human perception and attitudes. It identifies four different forms of trust: Dispositional Trust, Rational Trust, Affinitive Trust, and Systems-Based Trust. These dimensions of trust provide a comprehensive understanding of the trust dynamics within your organization and with the communities you interact with.
