Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present a conceptual framework and a stage of development of trust building and to study the factors affecting on the trust building in economics space. Conceptual framework on trust building in economics space is combined of in the three approaches. The macro(structural and institutional) approach includes normative and regulative factors(laws, norms), and positionality in social and economic systems(beliefs, political ideologies, institutions). The meso(intersubjective) approach contains the personal fronts(expressive factors, social cues, significant symbols) and settings(physical space, intermediary such as technologies & knowledges). The micro(subjective) approach comprises the willingness(internalization of value) and calculation(risk and uncertainties analysis) of economic actors. According to sustainable cooperation among economic actors, trust building to the macro(structural and institutional) level, the meso(intersubjective) level, and the micro(subjective) level develop by stages. The factors such as long-term and repeated interaction, information sharing and reciprocity, interdependence and asset specificity, uncertainty, proximity, and culture & norm of corporate and formal institution are determinants on the trust building across economic actors in economic space.

본 연구는 경제공간에서 신뢰형성의 개념적 틀과 발전단계를 제시하고, 신뢰형성에 영향을 미치는 요인을 고찰하였다. 경제공간에서 신뢰형성의 개념적 틀은 세 가지 접근, 즉 규범적. 규제적 요인(법, 규범)과 사회적 위치 및 경제적 시스템(믿음, 정치, 제도)을 포함하는 거시적(구조적 제도적) 접근, 외적장치(표현요인, 사회적 역할, 중요한 상징)와 배경(물리적 공간, 매개자인 기술 지식 등)을 포함하는 중시적(상호주관적) 접근, 그리고 경제행위자의 의지(가치의 내재화)와 계산(모험 및 불확실성 분석)을 포함하는 미시적(주관적) 접근이 서로 밀접하게 연관되어 구성되어 있다. 그리고 경제행위자 간 상호협력이 지속됨에 따라 신뢰형성은 거시적(구조적 및 제도적) 수준에서 중시적(상호주관적) 수준, 미시적(주관적) 수준으로 점차 발전한다. 또한, 경제공간에서 경제행위자 간 신뢰형성에 영향을 미치는 주요 요인은 경제행위자 간 장기적 반복적 상호작용, 정보공유와 호혜성, 상호의존과 자산특유성, 불확실성, 근접성, 기업의 문화 및 규범과 공식적 제도 등이다.
