Trust and cooperation between NGO and government department were attended widely with development of NGO. However, due to various reasons, it's still difficult to see the model of trust and cooperation between NGO and government department. In reality, NGO and government department have low level trust in all, impeding cooperation's development. Academics and politicians have ignored the trust that NGO gave to government in a certain. It is not conducive to the building of harmonious society, not conducive to promote NGO and government department to form cooperation.Thus, from the NGO perspective,in the context of traditional Chinese culture, this paper has researched on how to establish the government's trust and cooperation. First of all, it is defining trust, dividing the dimensions of trust, establishing trust-building mechanism. Second, it is defining cooperation, dividing the dimensions of cooperation,establishing trust-cooperation building path. In light of these problems, to seek to solve the problem of theory and experience as the starting point,to China's traditional culture in China and activities of the NGO as the basic starting point, through literature and survey analysis,we can enrich trust and cooperation's research areas in theory, provide trust and cooperation building guidance framework to NGO and government in practice.Through domestic and foreign literature review, combining Chinese traditional culture, this study finds that there were some main factors that affect the trust between NGO and government department,including government department characteristics ( reputation and ability ), two sides relations characteristics ( relationship experience and communication ), system characteristics ( fairness and justice, comprehensive and effectiveness ). Trust is divided into three dimensions, such as calculative trust, relational trust and institutional trust. Cooperation is divided into three dimensions, such as calculative cooperation, relational cooperation and institutional cooperation. Trust antecedents reasons as independent variables, trust dimensions as intermediary variables, cooperation dimensions as dependent variable, constitute the overall theoretical model. Trust antecedents reasons and trust dimensions constitute trust formation mechanism. Trust dimensions and cooperation dimensions constitute trust and cooperation evolution mechansim. Trust formation mechanism and trust and cooperation evolution mechansim constitute the overall theoretical model.In order to study expediently, the theoretical models were divided into six sub-models. The first is government departments characteristics and trust model. The second is two sides relation characteristics and trust model. The third is system characteristics and trust model. The fourth is different type trust relationship model. The fifth is trust and cooperation relationship model. The sixth is different type cooperation relationship model. According to the model need, the main statistical analysis methods include reliability analysis, validity analysis, correlation analysis, regression analysis and structural equation model analysis. After determining questionnaire and sample subjects, sample methodology, the study carried out small sample data analysis and big sample data analysis.At last, it has an empirical test on hypothetical.This research used questionnaire survey to collect data, used SPSS11.5 and AMOS5.0 to analysis data, and all of the assumptiones were verified. The results show that,calculative trust , relational trust and institutional trust between NGO and government departments are formed by different reasons.And the three types of trust also formed three different types of cooperation through different pathes. Research conclusions not only reveal the internal formation mechanism of trust and cooperation between NGO and government department, but also correct neglection and question of some of the academic researchers and government officials. Research not only has a certain value and significance for NGO and government department to establish mutual trust and cooperation, but also has a certain theoretical value.The academic contributions of this study denoted as follows: (1) This paper constructed a theoretical model about trust and cooperation between NGO and government department, including reasons of trust, trust and cooperation. In the context of Chinese culture, in paper, trust is divided into three dimensions, such as calculative trust, relational trust and institutional trust. Cooperation is divided into three dimensions, such as calculative cooperation, relational cooperation and institutional cooperation. Then, this paper discussed trust formation mechanism from government department characteristics, two sides' relations characteristics and syetem characteristics. What's more, from the NGO perspective, this paper discussed trust and cooperation evolution mechansim. (2) Through empirical research, this paper verified the trust and cooperation relationship between NGO and government deparment. The results show that, calculative trust, relational trust and institutional trust between NGO and government departments are formed by different reasons, including reputation, ability, experience, communication, fairness and justice, comprehensive and effective etc. And the three types of trust also formed three different types of cooperation through different different pathes. (3) Trough empirical research, this paper verified two conculsions which are different from traditional theory.First, in some certain, relational trust between NGO and government deparment has negativecorrelation with comprehensive and effective of system.Second, in some certain, institutional cooperation between NGO and government deparment has negativecorrelation with relational trust.
