The University of Twente is seeking a highly motivated and ambitious Post-Doc researcher to help advance their cumulative knowledge on trust and vulnerability in technology-immersed work contexts, such as hybrid work, leader-AI/robot-employee triads, or doctor-patient relationships, amongst others.
With this post-doctoral research project, they strive to deepen their understanding of trust and vulnerability as crucial aspects of humankind, and, thus, also interpersonal relationships at work. Scholars across domains have unanimously recognized that vulnerability lies at the heart of trust, grounded in positive expectations.
Nevertheless, despite its pivotal role, the precise nuances of vulnerability within the context of trust remain under-explored. This shortage of knowledge becomes even more worrisome as growing levels of technological sophistication in the workplace highlight human vulnerability and “reshuffle” the foundation on which trust was believed to be built.
