Trust is a basic coordination mechanism in interfirm relations while lack of trust is perceived as a cooperation barrier. However, building trust across cultural or national borders can be difficult because of cultural differences between partners. This study presents the results of the research on 278 Polish exporters and importers cooperating with partners from China and Germany and proves that the general perception of cooperation with partners from a given country influences the trust level in the cooperation with a given partner coming from this country. This dependence is the weakest in case of starting to trust the partner after the beginning of the cooperation. (original abstract)

Zaufanie jest podstawowym mechanizmem koordynującym relacje między przedsiębiorstwami, podczas gdy jego brak uznaje się za barierę współpracy. Budowanie zaufania we współpracy międzynarodowej może być trudne ze względu na różnice kulturowe między partnerami. Artykuł prezentuje wyniki badania 278 polskich eksporterów i importerów współpracujących z partnerami z Chin i Niemiec. Badanie wykazało, że ogólne postrzeganie współpracy z partnerami z danego kraju wpływa na poziom zaufania podczas współpracy z konkretnym partnerem pochodzącym z tego kraju. Zależność ta jest najsłabsza w przypadku, gdy zaufanie pojawia się dopiero po rozpoczęciu współpracy. (abstrakt oryginalny)
