    Political Interest Across Cultures: the Role of Uncertainty Avoidance and Trust
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2022) Kucukkomurler, Sanem; Ozkan, Turker
    Previous studies revealed a negative relationship between uncertainty avoidance tendencies and political interest at the country level. It implies that when there is a tendency to avoid uncertainties, citizens prefer not to be interested in politics. At the same time, there are findings in intergroup relations literature pointing to the intention to deal with uncertainties by participating in political activities (e.g., protests). We wonder whether a moderator, trust, impacts the relationship between uncertainty avoidance and political interest at the cultural level. The results demonstrated that (1) uncertainty is related to a decline in political interest, (2) trust has a moderator effect on the relationship between uncertainty avoidance and political interest, and (3) the moderation effect of trust is unique to the uncertainty avoidance dimension. These results revealed that trust has both enhancive and mitigative functions in the relationship between uncertainty avoidance and political interest.

    The Comparison of Trust Development in Virtual and Face-To Collaborative Learning Groups
    (Anadolu Univ, 2019) Baturay, Meltem Huri; Toker, Sacip
    The study investigates the effect of delivery types of (virtual and face-to-face) collaborative learning environments on the development of trust among group members in a graduate course. For this aim, a quasi-experimental, non-equivalent group comparison was used. It comprised a total of 64 participants 21 in the face-to-face group, and 43 in the virtual group. Study participants were comprised of students registered in a course entitled 'Web-based Education: Principles of Design and Implementation' in the spring semester as part of either a virtual or traditional face-to-face graduate program in Information Systems at an institute of higher education in Turkey in 2010. Trust levels were measured at two different occasions, namely in the beginning and end of the semester, for both study groups. The participants completed a web-based course material design project as a collaborative group activity. The results indicate that trust increases over time among virtual participants, but declines among face-to-face participants. While levels of trust among virtual course participants are lower than those of face-to-face course participants in the beginning of the semester, trust levels of virtual participants surpass those of faceto-face participants by the end of the semester. This study demonstrates that trust can develop in virtual learning environments. The initial level of trust should be taken into consideration by instructors or managers before forming groups.

    The Role of Absorptive Capacity, Communication and Trust in Erp Adoption
    (Elsevier Science inc, 2016) Mayeh, Maral; Ramayah, T.; Mishra, Alok
    The use of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems is proven to be valuable in several ways and it is considered a necessity in today's business. However, despite the high cost and efforts required in implementing ERPs, the success rate is reported unsatisfactory in Iranian organizations. It is argued that the success of ERP implementation is significantly related to the users' adoption behavior. As one of the most important predictors of adoption behavior, this study investigates factors affecting the intention to use ERP systems. In particular, using Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), we examined the effects of absorptive capacity, communication and trust on the intention to use ERP systems. A questionnaire was sent to ERP users in 7 organizations in Iran, and 184 responses were used for the analysis. The findings suggest that trust, together with perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, have a positive significant relationship with intention to use ERR Furthermore, absorptive capacity and communication have a direct effect on the perceived ease of use which, in turn, impacts the intention to use ERP. As such, this study advances the current knowledge of adoption behavior by investigating the role of trust, communication and absorptive capacity on the intention to use. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc.

    The Comparison of Trust Development in Virtual and Face-To Collaborative Learning Groups
    (Anadolu Universitesi, 2019) Baturay,M.H.; Toker,S.
    The study investigates the effect of delivery types of (virtual and face-to-face) collaborative learning environments on the development of trust among group members in a graduate course. For this aim, a quasi-experimental, non-equivalent group comparison was used. It comprised a total of 64 participants - 21 in the face-to-face group, and 43 in the virtual group. Study participants were comprised of students registered in a course entitled 'Web-based Education: Principles of Design and Implementation' in the spring semester as part of either a virtual or traditional face-to-face graduate program in Information Systems at an institute of higher education in Turkey in 2010.

    Exploring the hidden impact of the Covid-19 pandemic: The role of urbanization
    (Elsevier, 2022) Peren Arin, K.; Lacomba, Juan A.; Lagos, Francisco; Moro-Egido, Ana, I; Thum, Marcel; Arin, K. Peren
    We examine the role of residential environments (urban/rural) in understanding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions in nationwide movement on several socio-economic attitudes. We conducted large-scale surveys in four European countries (France, Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom) before and after nationwide lockdowns were implemented. We investigate how the pandemic affected: (i) economic (economic insecurity), (ii) political (trust in domestic and international institutions), and (iii) social attitudes (loneliness), by controlling for the degree of urbanization, obtained from the geocodes of the survey respondents. Our results show that taking the degree of urbanization into account is not only relevant but is also essential. Compared to urban areas, in rural areas lockdowns led to a greater increase of economic insecurity and to a greater decrease in trust in domestic institutions. We also show that these results are particularly valid for women and households with children.
