Factors of trust in machinery sharing arrangements

The paper examines the drivers of trust in the machinery sharing cooperation arrangements of Hungarian fieldcrops farms. Our research has focused on the role of two factors on the basis of the widely referred trust model: faith in loyalty and capability. The empirical results clearly confirm the hypothesis of the theoretical model, namely, which partners will trust each other if their faith is high both in loyalty and in competence. Our research has also pointed out that the level of trust between partners is determined differently by the two examined factors: it is statistically proved that the impact of faith in loyalty is higher.
