Summary/Abstract: The notion of trust is gaining increasing ground in international literature,not only in social sciences, but in relevant international business literature. Since being social is an inevitable part of being human, trust, as one of the basic interpersonal relations is of high importance. Without trust, not only teams, but institutions and societies would also fall apart. Formal relations cannot always substitute the subtle bond trust creates, what is more, formal solutions – necessitating a lot of paper work –are timely and costly.Present paper endeavours to explore the meaning of trust through researching the way distrust is created among students at Óbuda University’s Keleti Faculty of Business and Management. The research findings are in line with the international literature, and indicate, that there are various forms of trust, and they very often coexist with each other.
