Trust in family doctor-patient relations: an embeddedness theory perspective
This study enhances our understanding of patient trust in family doctors. Applying embeddedness theory, we reveal positive correlations between Social Trust and Organizational Trust, as well as between Organizational Trust and Interpersonal Trust. Moreover, we have identified Organizational Trust as a crucial mediator in the relationship between Interpersonal Trust and Social Trust.
