Abstract

This paper examines the antecedents of felt trust, an under-explored area in the trust literature. We hypothesized that subordinates’ felt trust would relate positively with their leaders’ moral leadership behaviors and negatively with autocratic leadership behaviors and demographic differences between leaders and themselves. We also hypothesized the above relationships to be mediated by the leader-member value congruence. Results supported our hypotheses that value congruence mediated between autocratic leadership behaviors and demographic differences and subordinates’ felt trust, but not moral leadership behaviors, which had direct effects on subordinates’ perception of feeling trusted. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

To assess the degree of congruence, we consulted many kinds of direct and indirect techniques used in Personality-Organization fit literature. Among the indirect techniques, bivariate congruence indices of algebraic (X − Y), absolute (|X − Y|), or squared difference (X − Y)² have been typically used. In the case of multiple predictors, researchers are used to combining them into a Profile similarity indices (PSIs) such as the sum of algebraic difference (D ¹), the sum of absolute differences (|D|), the Euclidean distance (D), or the correlation between two profiles (Q) (Chatman, 1991; Edwards, 1993; Kristof, 1996).
