- 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).
