| Abstract: | This article explores the effects of information originating from social networks on the development of interpersonal trust relations in the context of a dialysis department of a medium-sized hospital in the Netherlands. Hypotheses on learning effects are developed and tested based on longitudinal data on the complete networks of trust and informal communication relations among employees at four different points of time. The results support the existence of a learning mechanism both within dyads and through the social networks in which the dyads are embedded etc. |
