Editorial reading guide · Trust
Can a more trustworthy workplace help us leave work worries at work?
This reading brings organizational trust, affective rumination and problem-solving pondering alongside work-family conflict into the trust pathway. The cross-sectional nurse survey with mediation analysis offers a specific workplace lens on how employment and family life meet.
Study context
240 emergency-department nurses from 22 hospitals in Chongqing, China
Age / stage: Working adults; child status varied
Read with three questions
- How did the researchers define and assess organizational trust and the two forms of rumination?
- What does the study design allow us to conclude about cross-sectional mediation and work-family conflict?
- What would need to be checked before adopting a supervisor conversation about after-hours work worries?
Keep the limits in view
Convenience sampling and simultaneous self-reports cannot establish that trust or rumination causes work-family conflict; emergency nursing is a specific setting.
