Abstract

Living in a continuously virtualized environment composed of individuals, organizations, services, and software applications, it is significantly important to rely on theoretically and empirically verified models focusing on the interactions and interrelationships of entities embedded within an IT-Ecosystem (ITE). In our rapidly changing digital environment, perceived trust plays a significant role with regard to user's acceptance and adoption of innovative technologies. Considering different components of perceived trust in ITEs, this paper aims at developing a multidimensional conceptualization of trust effects referring to system-centric as well as user-centric determinants of trust.
