Trust and Control in Teams

Year: 2008

Type: dissertation

Abstract: In this paper, we argue that one of the reasons for the inconsistent findings regarding the relationships between peer monitoring, intrateam trust and team performance is that past research has neglected within-team dispersion. We introduce ‘trust asymmetry’ and ‘monitoring consensus’ as critical dispersion properties of trust and monitoring and hypothesize that these moderate the relationships between mean monitoring, mean trust and team performance. Findings from a cross-lagged panel study strongly support our hypotheses. A second crosssectional study largely replicates these findings and offers support for an integrative model involving mean and dispersion levels of both trust and monitoring.
