Abstract

Using a sample of 212 employees, the authors examined the relationships between employees’ perceptions of procedural and interactional justice and their subsequent trust in their organi-zation and supervisor. Specifically, the authors predicted that the link between procedural jus-tice and trust in organization would be mediated by perceived organizational support (POS), whereas the relationship between interactional justice and trust in supervisor would be medi-ated by perceived supervisor support (PSS). In line with predictions, the authors found that POS partially mediated the effect of procedural justice on trust in organization and PSS par-tially mediated the impact of interactional justice on trust in supervisor. These findings sug-gest that employees develop relationships with their supervisors that are distinct from those relationships they experience with their organization.
