Dear Colleagues,

I am a doctoral student working with Dr. Kepes on a meta-analytic review to assess the nomological net of trust, including trust in organization, trust in top management, trust in leaders, trust in supervisors, trust in coworkers, trust in peers, and trust in team members. Specifically, we want to meta-analytically investigate potential antecedents, outcomes, and correlates of trust.

Antecedents include variables such as justice, trustee characteristics (e.g., ability, benevolence, and integrity), trustor characteristics (e.g., propensity to trust and demographics) and relationship attributes (e.g., interaction frequency). Correlates include variables such as perceived support (e.g., perceived organizational support, perceives supervisor support, perceived coworker support), commitment (e.g., organizational commitment, supervisor commitment, and team commitment), and identification (e.g., organizational identification, supervisor identification, and team identification). Outcome variables include various job attitudes (e.g., intentions to leave and job satisfaction), conflict (e.g., task conflict and relationship conflict), and performance (e.g., task performance, OCB, and CWB).

We have completed a search of the published data and are now searching for any unpublished studies to include in our meta-analytic review. If you have any unpublished raw data or manuscripts, conference presentations, in-press papers, dissertations that include relevant data, or otherwise publically unavailable data, would you consider sharing them with us for this meta-analysis? If so, please send these papers or the necessary statistics (sample size, sample characteristics, correlations, reliability estimates, and the measure(s) of trust used) to me at choijy2@vcu.edu. Anything you send will be treated as confidential and will not be distributed. Your work will be cited in our study.

Thank you in advance for any assistance you are able to provide. 

With best regards,

PhD student
