Abstract
This study tested a model of trust-in-supervisor that included propensity to trust and
supervisor attributes (i.e., ability, benevolence, and integrity) as antecedents and
affective organizational commitment and helping intention as criterion outcomes. A field
survey using a structured questionnaire was used to gather data from 155 white-collar
employees from diverse occupations and organizations. Path analysis results showed that
supervisor ability, benevolence, and integrity as well as employees' propensity to trust
were positively associated with trust-in-supervisor. Trust-in-supervisor, in turn, predicted
employees' affective organizational commitment but did not have any influence on their
willingness to help co-workers. Implications of the findings and suggestions for future
research are discussed.
