Abstract

One field study and one scenario study were conducted to examine the interactive effect between managers’ own perceived organizational status and self-esteem on their trust in subordinates and procedural justice toward them. I predicted that when managers experienced incongruence between organizational status and self-esteem relative to when they experienced congruence between the two, they would be more likely to experience anger (when low status/high self-esteem) or insecurity (when high status/low self-esteem), which would then lead to lower trust in subordinates and lower procedural justice toward them. Moreover, I hypothesized that trust in subordinates would play a mediating role for the organizational status x self-esteem interaction effect and procedural justice. Converging findings from both studies confirm these predications. Implications to the literactions of status, trust, and organizational justice are discussed.
