This research investigates the determinants and outcomes of trust in buyer‐supplier relationships. Trust in a partner organization and in the individual counterpart are examined from both the buyers' and suppliers' perspectives. The method in which organizational and interorganizational management practices influence trust in buyer‐supplier relations and how trust at two levels relates to supplier performance are discussed. Data for the statistical analysis was gathered from a survey of 99 purchasing managers and their lead suppliers.
