For example, in the sales context, the supervisors trusts the salesperson to exert maximum effort and commitment to achieve organizational goals. Reciprocally, the salesperson trust the supervisor to provide support, show fairness and objectivity in work assignments and performance appraisals, and show consideration for the salesperson’s welfare. The salesperson’s trust in the supervisor’s benevolence is therefore believed to enhance sales performance.
