- Respond to Adam; Agree or disagree The Trust Scale is perhaps the most famous tool for measuring trust, which was made by Mayer, Davis, and Schoorman (1995). It is based on the person's ability (competence), benevolence (intentions), and integrity (following principles). This tool is an assessment of other people's perceptions about their tests (competence), their beliefs (intentions), and their rules (integrity). A Likert-type scale questionnaire uses it; participants express their opinions on the above, and then data are summed in order to find out the general level of trust in the relationship. In organizational settings, where it is broadly used for measuring employee trust in leadership or peers, it also gives useful insights into workplace dynamics as well as potential barriers to collaboration (Mayer, Davis, & Schoorman, 1995). This tool is likely to render a true measurement of trust, especially in situations that are clearly structured so that trust behaviors are visible…arrow_forwardRespond to Lisa; Agree or disagree Trust is an essential trait required for relationships to thrive among individuals and even organizations.

However, several tools have been developed in an attempt to quantify trust but there is no known effectiveness in assessing its level based on interpersonal traits. Many studies have been conducted seeking to know how trust can be measured although they treated trust as situational construct. Some of the tools used include psychometric properties of a new trust inventory known as PTS (Propensity to Trust Survey) and Trust Style Inventory (TSI). PTS mostly relied on online survey data but has been increasingly…arrow_forward◄ Mail 18:09 5G CSTUDY_Jan25_BCOMHO...al_20241129091837.pdf.pdf FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT 1 Read the case study below and answer ALL of the questions that follow.
