The decline and erosion of trust in core societal institutions have been significantly heightened by a broad range of global crises and societal challenges. While the study of trust and institutions is prevalent in organization and management research, the intricate relationship between the two concepts has received scant attention. In this PDW, we focus on developing a research agenda around the co-constitution of trust and institutions by bringing together a group of established scholars in this emerging area, directors at the Edelman Trust Institute, and junior scholars and doctoral students worldwide. We highlight a constitutive view of institutions as configurations of beliefs, norms, practices, and infrastructure, forming an essential basis upon which trust is constructed and governing trustful behavior during crises. This timely agenda will help participants develop a sophisticated understanding of formulating novel research questions on institutional trust, leveraging scholar-practitioner collaboration to enhance the impact and relevance of their work to practice and policy-making, and using such collaboration to make significant theoretical contributions to the further theorizing of trust and institutions.

This is a three-part PDW, consisting of an opening plenary, a breakout roundtable session, and a closing plenary. Formal registration is not required. However, to foster a more engaging roundtable discussion and receive targeted feedback from our distinguished panelists, we encourage you to send us a brief summary (2 pages max) of your research idea on the co-constitution of trust and institutions to milo.wang@asu.edu by July 15, 2024. If you’re interested in participating but not ready to submit a summary, we strongly encourage you to indicate your preferred roundtable discussion topic (listed below) to milo.wang@asu.edu by July 15, 2024. This will help us convey your interest to our roundtable discussion leaders.
