Trust in business is an essential factor that has been being studied by the Academy for decades. From the seminal proposal of Mayer et al. (1995) about the concept of trust and how it is developed inside organizations we propose a revision of the model described by the contributions of Spaemann, author of expanded trajectory within the framework of the denominated "Moral Philosophy of Europe Continental". From this constructive critic we defend here that the improvements of the model will allow explaining the phenomenon of trust generation with more precision and agreed to the human behavior by the incorporation a humanist synthesis which contributes to the dialogue between ethics and social sciences.
