GORDON R., Sara. Confianza, capital social y desempeño de organizaciones. Criterios para su evaluación. Rev. mex. cienc. polít. soc [online]. 2005, vol.47, n.193, pp.41-55. ISSN 0185-1918.

Within the analytical framework of social capital, this article approaches the subject of the appropriate criteria to evaluate the role of trust in civil associations. It proposes two levels: on the one hand, the associations' capacity to produce internal trust with civic characteristics and to develop generalized trust and civic attitudes and behavior; on the other hand, it reflects on the convenience of using the distinction between diverse types of confidence, in order to establish if some of them favor cooperation more than others as well as a satisfactory performance according to the associations' objectives.

Keywords : confianza; capital social; desempeño de organizaciones; sociedad moderna; confianza sistémica y personal; cognitivismo.
