A Staudy on Trust Transfer in Credit Reporting System
Song Me · Journal of systems management · 2013
Vertical information asymmetry takes up dominant position under the circumstances of G2B inter-organizational information sharing.Complete information set cannot be obtained by simple information integration and exchange to reduce the vertical information asymmetry.As info-mediaries in this case,credit reporting system are constructed to offer inter-organizational information sharing under vertical information asymmetry.We discuss the trust transfer between source credibility and perceived information quality in the special situation by testing the multiple mediation effects.The result shows that there are two ways for trust to be transferred to perceived information quality from source credibility.One is directly through information source entities,and the other is through credit reporting platform(indirect transfer).Indirect transfer accumulates credit through information source on the credit reporting platform,and is manifested by its completeness,correctness,timeliness,and facilitates the adoption of shared G2B information.
