Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to appreciate the need for and propose some thoughts on modelling trust–control dynamics for communities that use grid technology. It takes the viewpoint that members within a grid-based community require a trust framework that brings together and takes into account both social and technological approaches to trust. It also emphasises the importance of the simultaneous analysis of trust and control in their co-development. In line with the duality perspective that considers trust and control as independent yet interrelated dimensions, trust is explored in its relation to control. Control is examined as a multi-dimensional phenomenon that includes personal, formal, and social scopes. The analysis of trust appeals to its cognitive and affective dimensions. The model introduced also takes into account the mediating role of psychological ownership in the trust–control dynamics. Specifically, shared psychological ownership is singled out as a new explanatory variable of this dynamic.
