Dear All
We would like to direct your attention to our call for EGOS 2013 in Montreal "Authority, Prices and Trust: Within and Across Boundaries" - a call of the standard working group on "organizational trust". With this call we try to bridge OMT and BPS research on trust with OB research on trust. More specifically we seek theoretical or empirical research that explores the role of the organizational context (or of interorganizational governance structures) to organizational trust. We are interested in research that looks at the influence of rules, bureaucracy, control mechanisms, reward and incentives, power relations etc. on trust in the organization or at the joint effects of structural aspects and trust on performance (eg. whether trust and control are substitutes or complements). The call is therefore quite broad - if you are not sure whether your paper idea fits the topic - please do not hesitate to contact Antoinette Weibel beforehand.
If you are interested you need to apply with a short paper:
Deadline: January 14
Submission guidelines for short papers: http://www.egosnet.org/swgs/current_swgs
Please read the full call here:
How are formal control and trust in the organization (or between organizations) related?
Which types of control and which control configurations are conducive to building trust in the organization (or between organizations)?
Can and, if so, in what way can formal controls repair trust in organizations?
What is the impact of regulations (standards, controls) at the individual level: do they make behaviour more ï¿œtrustworthy?
What are the effects of price formation on trust between exchange partners? Which type of price formation encourages or inhibits the development of trust within and across organizational boundaries?
What is the effect of performance-contingent rewards on trust? How does this type of reward enable or undermine cooperative trust-based relationships ( between team members, teams or larger organizational units)?
In what ways can a faï¿œade of trust mask the deliberate use of power? And how are trust and power related in empowerment initiatives?
etc.
