| Abstract | Contracting for complex human services has presented the field of public administration with a number of difficult and enduring questions. Emergency medical services (EMS) provide an ideal arena for further investigation into this topic.

The findings indicate that contract specificity, provider performance, and administrative professionalization influence trust in these relationships. |
