Abstract

Trust has generally been presented in the literature as a phenomenon derived through cognitive and affective processes, and developing within specific, defined stages of a collaborative relationship. This process perspective has been enhanced through viewing relationships as interactions and exhibiting downwards competence trust spirals and trust-building loops. Service Dominant Logic positions value creation as central to ongoing interactivity between customers (individual buyers or client organisations) and providers. Framing trust within this interactivity, we offer a complexity explanation of trust as a self-organising, adaptive phenomenon, self-organising as a consequence of each interaction, and adapting in response to trust experiences and knowledge external to the relationship.
