ABSTRACT

This study sought to understand the dynamics of institutional trust in three Southeast Asian countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. For this, the study used the latest wave of ‘The Asian Barometer Survey’ (2014–2016). Based on the analysis of the survey data from the Asian Barometer, this study found that along with perceived performance and governance quality, values and norms such as authoritarian cultural orientation (ACO) also affected the institutional trust of these countries. People with higher ACO had greater obedience that could affect the evaluation processes of those people and make them more positive or at least less critical, and accordingly create higher institutional trust. This finding may generate an important lesson that institutional trust may not just reflect rational calculation of institutional performance and governance quality, it may originate from other sources such as values and norms like ACO.

摘要

本研究旨在了解三个东南亚国家的机构信任动态：印度尼西亚、马来西亚和泰国。为此，该研究使用了最新一期的“亚洲晴雨表调查”（2014-2016）。基于对亚洲晴雨表调查数据的分析，本研究发现，除了感知绩效和治理质量外，威权文化取向（ACO）等价值观和规范也影响了这些国家的制度信任。具有较高 ACO 的人具有更高的服从性，这可能会影响这些人的评估过程，使他们更积极或至少不那么挑剔，从而产生更高的机构信任。
