Trust is among the most studied concept in the literature, which plays a key role in inter-organizational relationships, yet ambiguity still underlying it. It is characterized by its transversality since trust was analyzed and tested in many fields.
This paper contributes to the knowledge in several ways. Firstly, it identifies the emergence of trust within organizations and provides some definitions. Secondly, it illustrates the conditions of the development of trust. Lastly, the paper analyses two theoretical frameworks of trust.
