Abstract
We present in this paper a logical model of trust within organizations. Three forms of trust are investigated: trust in an agent (i.e. interpersonal trust), trust in a role, trust in an agent qua player of a role. The relationships between the three forms of trust are investigated. A part of the paper is devoted to the analysis of trust of an authority (e.g. an employer) in a subordinate (e.g. an employee).
