Abstract
Mutual trust between the organizations and their
employees is crucial for maximizing firms’ value and also the
socio-economic benefits to the society. Particularly, in the Islamic
perspective, it results in a good outcomes both for this world and
the Hereafter. While majority of organizational trust instruments
have been developed in English, scholars have made few attempts
to examine the validity and reliability of their translated versions
in diverse contexts. In literature, Schoorman and Ballinger (2006)
Organizational Trust Scale is one of the self-rating instruments
developed to investigate the association among subordinates and
leaders or managers. The translation/back translation method was
used to translate the instrument into Urdu. Survey was conducted
to collect information from the employees working in the public
sector organization of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to measure employee’s
trust on managers or leaders. Cronbach’s alpha was used to test the
reliability of the translated scale. Principal Component Analysis was
used to test the construct validity of the instrument. The findings of
the research study suggest that the unidimensional structure of the
Organizational Trust Scale of Schoorman and Ballinger (2006) can
be applied to the Pakistani public sector organizations particularly
for finding the impacts of the Islamic social values and principles in
performance of the organizations.
