The Trust Model of Virtual Team: Organizing Method Bases on the Agent Relation Network

A virtual team is different from a traditional team, and it lays emphasis on trans-time, -space and -organization-boundary, which makes the trust between individuals become a challenge to enhance performance and achievement of a team. It has long been a hard issue for the virtual team researchers to set up a trust system. After systematically analyzing the intrinsic meaning and concept model of the trust, this paper proposes the trust based on recognition of a virtual team, and introduces an Agent network model, so as to establish a trust model between individuals. The quantitative descriptions on the trust relationship among the Agents are also presented in the paper.
