Abstract

As organizations become increasingly flat, informal leadership plays an increasingly important role in organizational management. How to cultivate the employees’ leadership and play its positive role has become an important issue for Chinese enterprise managers. Based on social exchange theory, this study explores the relationship between employees’ informal leadership and interpersonal trust. In this paper, 443 employees are selected for empirical test. The results show that employees’ informal leadership has a significantly positive impact on interpersonal trust. This study theoretically analyzes the influence mechanism of employees’ informal leadership on interpersonal trust, which provides a new theoretical framework for follow-up research; in practice, it also provides specific guidance for leaders.
