Findings reveal that humility, while defined differently by those in different disciplines, engenders trust, but the relationship is complicated. Various mediators and moderators exist that impact the relationship. Further, the relationship between humility and trust may not be one way. Some research suggests that trust can influence humility. There are also numerous theories used to explain\u2014and methods employed to understand\u2014this complex relationship.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Future work can address measurement and methodological shortfalls, as well as explore inconsistencies in results by replicating select studies or examining potential moderators and boundary conditions.
