Institutional trust plays a crucial role when a nation is facing mega crises (e.g., the COVID-19 pandemic) and has implications for employee work experiences and well-being. To date, researchers largely consider how institutional trust or trust in government may predict variables of interest in isolation. However, this variable-centered perspective ignores the possibility that there are subpopulations of employees who may differ in their trust in different institutions (i.e., the state government, the federal government). To address this, we examined institutional trust with two foci (i.e., trust in state government and trust in federal government) from a person-centered perspective. Using latent profile analysis and data from 492 U.S.-based employees, we identified five trust profiles: high trustors, federal trustors, state trustors, the ambivalent, and distrusters, and found that these profiles differentially predicted attitudes towards and behavioral compliance with CDC recommended COVID-19 prevention practices, job insecurity, affective commitment, helping behavior, and psychological well-being.
当一个国家面临重大危机（例如，COVID-19 大流行）时，机构信任起着至关重要的作用，这对员工的工作经历和幸福感有影响。迄今为止，研究人员主要考虑机构信任或对政府的信任如何单独预测感兴趣的变量。然而，这种以变量为中心的观点忽略了这样一种可能性，即员工中可能存在对不同机构（即州政府、联邦政府）的信任程度不同的亚群体。为了解决这个问题，我们从以个人为中心的角度研究了两个重点的机构信任（即对州政府的信任和对联邦政府的信任）。使用潜在剖面分析和来自 492 名美国员工的数据，我们确定了五个信任档案：高度信任者、联邦信任者、州信任者、矛盾者和怀疑者，并发现这些档案对与疾病预防控制中心建议的 COVID-19 预防措施、工作不安全感、情感承诺、帮助行为和心理健康相关的态度以及行为合规性有不同的预测作用。
