“…Research suggests that lower levels of trust in organizations cause employees to demonstrate less creativity, to make less effort for the purposes of the organization, to have a low level of morale, to feel stressed out, and to be less productive (Yeh, 2007), whereas higher levels of trust lead to increased levels of productivity, employee morale, team and organizational performance, job satisfaction, organizational commitment and justice, and citizenship behavior, but a decrease in absenteeism (Boe, 2002;Gibson, 2011). Trust has a direct effect on organizational outcomes (Tan & Tan, 2000;Top, Tarcan, Tekingündüz, & Hikmet, 2013), and it acts as a partial or complete agent among variables (Aryee et al, 2002;De Cremer, Dijke, & Bos, 2006;Konovsky & Pugh, 1994).…”
