In general, trust develops slowly within a team, even among teams with stable memberships.
It is also the most fragile of the interpersonal processes.
An individual who abuses the norms within a group can quickly destroy any trust with those whose trust was violated.
Dirks (1999) reported that in high-trust teams motivation was transformed into collaborative or joint efforts and hence better performance, whereas in low-trust teams motivation was translated into individual efforts.
Intentional betrayal of trust is a self-serving action done with the purpose of hurting or harming another person.
