Abstract: If intra- and inter- organisational trust is truly important then it must be measured and managed to build sustainable competitive advantage. The framework for trust management (FTM) integrates the theory of planned behaviour as a model for organisational change with the integrative model of organisational trust and the interdisciplinary model of trust constructs. Following an action research agenda, the framework is designed as a practical tool and addresses several known limitations of prior research: it addresses multi-level analysis issues, resolves the unidirectional limitations of prior models, recognises that trust building is a dynamic process, and provides a guide to action so that management may intervene when trust violations occur. A trust management inventory scale is developed and practical application of the framework is discussed.

Keywords: trust measures; trust inventory scale; survey; theory of planned behaviour; TPB; trustworthiness; institutional trust; intention; reciprocity; entrepreneurship; intra-organisational trust; inter-organisational trust; action research; trust management; organisational change; trust building.
