Motivated to “roll the dice” on trust: The relationships between employees’ daily motives, risk propensity, and trust.
研究员工日常的工作动机(如成就、归属、刺激、安全)如何通过影响其风险倾向,进而影响对同事的信任,超越了传统信任基础的解释。
-the tendency to accept or avoid risk-from the decision-making literature into the trust literature, we build a model of trust that suggests employees' trusting behaviors stem from both their calculated assessment of risk (encapsulated in trustworthiness and trust propensity) and their tendency to take those risks. We draw on motivated reasoning theory (Kunda, 1990) and the decision-making literature to suggest that employees' daily strivings for achievement, affiliation, stimulation, and security induce a biased reasoning process that influences employees' risk propensity that day. Our test of this theoretical model demonstrates that generalized work motives have an indirect effect on employees' trust in their coworkers, through risk propensity, that goes above and beyond established bases of trust.
