Abstract:
The link between leadership trust and workers passion at government parastatals in Rivers State, Nigeria, was investigated in this study. In this study, a cross-sectional survey was used. A total of 302 employees were surveyed in this study and a sample of 169 were drawn. The data were collected from respondents via a questionnaire. In this investigation, the systematic sampling approach was applied. The data was evaluated using the Spearman rank order correlation coefficient to see if there was any association between the dimension of leadership trust (dependability and competence) and the measures of employee passion (harmonious passion and obsessive passion). Dependability exhibited a substantial association with measures of worker passion, according to the bivariate hypothesis. Competence was also revealed to have a positive significant association with worker passion measurements. As a result, the study indicated that leadership trust in terms of dependability and competence is important in increasing employee passion. According to the study, the leadership or management of government parastatals should demonstrate a high degree of dependability, as this would assist increase employee passion and so improve the organization's overall fortune.
