The Handbook of Advances in Trust Research presents new and important developments in trust research.

The contributors are all prominent and highly respected experts in the field.

Thereafter, themes which have gained prominence since the original Handbook are considered, such as trust and the financial crisis, public trust in business, and trust and HRM.

Editorial Reviews

'Overall, this is an interesting and relevant publication. Central themes of control, monitoring, structure and process intertwine across chapters, making it a coherent, balanced piece of work that reflects the efforts of the trust community to pull towards more convergent conceptualisations and measurement after a number of objections regarding the fragmented nature of prior research.'
