TRUST AND FRIENDSHIP NETWORK: RELATIONSHIPS IN A COOPERATIVE
Keywords:
Network, Trust, Friendship, Cooperative
Abstract
The perception of a president of a cooperative in the metropolitan area of São Paulo, Brazil, with regard to friendship and trust network is provided. A qualitative and quantitative approach was employed through interviews and non-participation observation, whereas quantitative data were obtained by a questionnaire with analysis by Ucinet 6.0. Results show density similar networks with differences in their centrality, especially the division between friendship and trust in the work milieu. The president revealed that no friendship ties between him and cooperated people are extant. On the other hand, cooperates take him as a friend. With regard to trust, results show a president who little trusts his cooperates. It may be suggested that similar analyses could be made in other cooperatives and in similar organizations since trust and friendship relationships are interesting themes in organizational research.
