Meaningful Connections: Authentic Leadership and Trust

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the predictive relationship between authentic leadership and trust to supervisor. The data were collected from 104 employees from a variety of jobs and industries in a collectivistic culture, Turkey. In the scope of this study, existing scales are used to collect data. Employees completed the ten-itemed one factor solution trust to supervisor scale and sixteen-itemed four factor solution authentic leadership scale. Structural equation modeling was conducted to test the research hypothesis.  The structural equation modeling results showed a strong positive relationship between authentic leadership and trust to supervisor. The results are discussed along with practical implication, suggestions for future research and limitations.
