Research question
When systemic trust and personal trust are measured and classified, how do the co-operative networks in various development phases differ from each other?
”Systemic trust appears in relationships with abstract systems.”
”Personal trust appears in relationships with autonomic
individuals.” (Seligman 1997)
Research material and methods
Networks The Lohja Environmental Cluster The Karkkila Environmental Cluster
Network of businesses and organizations,
targeting to disseminate environmental
knowledge The LLL Project
Network of educational institutions
MethodsNetwork analysesInterviewsQueries
Network is trusted as a system Well-established interaction Open atmosphere Members do not compete with each other Network has clear strategic goals
The Lohja Environmental Cluster
Present co-operation (very often; quite often; occasionally)The Lohja environmental Cluster
(1) Municipality of Lohja; (2) Kisakallio Sports Institute, ( 3) Peltomaa, (4) Rosk´n Roll - the regional waste company, (5) Enics Group, (6) The S Group, (7) Loparex, (8) Minerit, (9) Lohja’s entrepreneurs, (10) Fortum, (11) Hospital District of Lohja, (12) UPM, (13) Envimetria, (14) Lemminkäinen, (15) Nordkalk

Systemic trust
The Karkkila Cluster
Cluster is in early phase of development Trust in network is of the personal kind Members had relationships already from the time before
the network was founded Good example how building trust requires time
Present co-operation (very often; quite often; occasionally)
The Karkkila cluster
Active Inactive
Personal trust
Systemic trust
(1) Biofarm Oy, (2) Kerava Energy –corporation, (3) Moventas, (4) Helvar, (5) Municipality of Karkkila, (6) K. Suilo, (7) MeriMet, (8) Verax, (9) Karkkila Industry Service, (10) SEW Industrial Gears

’Sparsely knit’ network
Trust in network is of the personal kind
Network of low density, the level of co-operation was
generally vague
Organisations were practically mutual competitors
Personal relationships are emphasized
Formation of trust requires long and intensive interaction
During the project interaction was scarce
The LLL Project
Present co-operation (very often; quite often)The LLL project
(1) Innofocus, (2) Economic Information office, (3) EVTEK, (4) LAUREA, (5) The vocational school of Western Nyland, (6) Work Efficiency Institute, (7) Sports Institute Kisakeskus, (8) Education Centre of Western Uusimaa, (9) Karkkila Learning Centre, (10) Karkkila Adult education centre, (11) Kirkkonummi Adult education centre, (12) Kisakallio Sports Institute, (13) Siikaranta Education Centre, (14) Sydväst vocational institution, (15) Sydväst education institution

Densities of the networks
Network’s density versus trust
The Lohja Cluster → Density 0,32 → Systemic trust
The LLL Project → Density 0,15 → Personal trust
The higher degree of density in network, the more trust is
based on the systemic level
The less dense the network is, the more trust applies at
personal level
Conclusions
One member (Kisakallio Sports Institute) is placed differently in two networks
→ supports the hypothesis stating that the density and the level of activity of co-operation affect the appearance of trust
Density of the Karkkila cluster almost equals with the Lohja cluster in the same stage of development
It can be assumed that the trust will develop to the systemic kind also in Karkkila
→ Must be validated with new measurements!
