Our survey of managers and subordinates indicates three conditions under which subordinate trust increases: when managers apply output controls and demonstrate their integrity; when managers apply process controls and demonstrate their ability; when managers apply social controls and demonstrate their benevolence. We argue that that these relationships exist because when managers demonstrate their trustworthiness in ways that facilitate the achievement of performance objectives (i.e., specified in the controls managers apply), subordinates are more confident that authorities are committed to protecting and promoting their interests. The paper concludes with a discussion about how these perspectives advance research on organizational control, organizational trust, and control-trust relationships.10aManagement1 aCarroll, Tim1 aLong, Chris1 aHoltom, Brooks, C uhttps://journals.aom.org/doi/abs/10.5465/AMBPP.2019.19068abstract
