Abstract

Despite significant interest in employee-employer trust, our current understanding of this phenomenon remains limited. Therefore, this study aims to understand variations in the quality of employee-employer trust within technology-permeated workplaces. We conducted semi-structured interviews with employees (n=15) from two trust cases (calculative vs. identity-based) in technology-permeated workplaces and identified leadership responsibility, employer communication, and organizational culture as critical factors shaping the trust relationships. Our findings reveal that leaders in the identity-based trust case communicate employers' values and purpose during technology deployment more effectively compared to the calculative trust case. Additionally, the responsibility orientation of leaders emerged as a pivotal factor influencing the quality of employee trust. Our data suggests that a stakeholder-oriented approach to responsibility strengthens trust in technology-permeated workplaces, while prioritizing an instrumental responsibility orientation undermines it. We contribute to trust and responsible leadership theory by providing valuable guidance for cultivating employee trust in technology-driven workplaces.
