Abstract

Community organisations aim to promote benefits to members; the benefits can be implicit or explicit. This article assesses trust among community organisational members and tests the factors that influence trust. It examines the relationship between members’ age, sex, membership duration and trust issues in community organisations in Tanzania. Two hundred and fifty respondents were selected for the study using convenient sampling; they filled and returned 165 of the distributed questionnaires, giving a response rate of 66%. Results show that the only variable, among many, significantly associated with trust is perceived benefits. Therefore, the interventions to strengthen groups' effectiveness may need to focus on improving group members' perceived/accrued benefits.
