Abstract: In today’s knowledge economy, new technology adoption is critical for increasing the core competitiveness of companies. How to make employees trust and adopt the new technologies when facing the risks and uncertainties brought by such technologies is an important issue. Although many scholars recognize the positive role of trust in new technology adoption, it still lacks theoretical and empirical research, and in particular, in explaining the underlying mechanism. To fill in the gap, the current research aims to explore how trust in technology and trust in leadership affect employees’ decisions to adopt new technologies, identify the underlying psychological mechanism, examine the moderating effect of organizational culture; and to construct the theoretical framework of trust and employees’ new technology adoption, and finally provide practical implications for management.
