Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The current study aims to contribute to our understanding of the relationship between healthy organizational practices, organiza- tional trust and team work engagement. It is based on the Healthy & Resilient Organizations Model (Salanova, Llorens, Cifre, & Martínez, 2012) and examines 518 employees nested in 55 teams from 13 small-and medium-sized enterprises using data aggregated at the work-unit level. Healthy organizational practices, organizational trust and team work engagement were aggregated from team mem- bers’ perceptions using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC1 and ICC2) taking the group as the referent. Structural Equation Modeling by AMOS revealed that, as expected, organizational trust plays a full mediating role among healthy organizational practices and team work engagement at the team. Theoretical and practical contributions based on the Healthy & Resilient Organizations Model are discussed.
