DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ School of Information Studies (SIS) Semina
 r Series talk on the role of trust in organizational knowledge sharing wit
 h Dr. Max Evans.\n\nABSTRACT\n\nInterpersonal and organizational trust is 
 the foundation of a successful organizational culture. A culture of trust 
 increases firm performance\, fosters a capacity for individual and collect
 ive action\, increases organizational learning\, reduces problem complexit
 y and uncertainty\, and helps to uncover innovative solutions. Trust also 
 plays a critical role in information and knowledge sharing – enhancing col
 laboration and cooperation\, as well as encouraging knowledge creation and
  transfer. To gain a broader perspective of trust in organizations\, we wi
 ll examine the basic definition of trust and look at how it relates to inf
 ormation and knowledge sharing. In addition\, we will discuss characterist
 ics of a trusting organizational culture and tactics for gauging and measu
 ring trust and organizational culture. We will conclude by proposing some 
 imperative individual and leadership behaviours for building trust in the 
 organization.\n\nBIO\n\nDr. Max Evans (BSc\, MISt\, PhD) is an Assistant P
