What the paper says

The findings highlight the critical role of midlevel leaders and organizational communication in shaping employee perceptions of senior leader honesty and integrity. Healthcare organizations should focus on selecting and training effective midlevel leaders to cultivate trust at higher levels. Developing a culture of frequent appreciation and recognition can improve trust in senior leaders and other important outcomes noted in the literature. Creating an environment where employees feel safe to report violations without fear of reprisal is essential for fostering trust in senior leadership. Healthcare leaders should consider these factors when designing strategies to enhance perceptions of senior leader honesty and integrity within their organizations.
