Abstract

The current study explored the effects of coworker, supervisor, and management trust on the job involvement, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment of Nigerian prison staff working in a prison in southeast Nigeria. In multivariate regression, only management trust was a significant positive predictor of job involvement. Supervisor and management trust, but not coworker trust, had significant positive associations with organizational commitment. All three dimensions of organizational trust had significant positive relationships with job satisfaction. These results suggest that both supervisory and management trust are important to correctional officers in Nigeria, which are similar to empirical research studies in the United States. The effects of trust may be universal among correctional staff across different cultures.

摘要

目前的研究探讨了同事、主管和管理层信任对在尼日利亚东南部监狱工作的尼日利亚监狱工作人员的工作投入、工作满意度和组织承诺的影响。在多元回归中，只有管理层信任是工作参与度的显着正向预测因子。主管和管理层的信任，但不是同事的信任，与组织承诺有显着的正相关。组织信任的所有三个维度都与工作满意度有显着的正相关关系。这些结果表明，监督和管理信任对尼日利亚的惩教人员都很重要，这与美国的实证研究类似。信任的影响可能在不同文化的惩教人员中普遍存在。
