Abstract

The purpose of this study is to verify the mediating effect of team identification that becomes pronounced because of the trust in leadership & trust in co-workers and to show that these factors influence subsequent cooperative behavior. Furthermore, the moderating effect of employment status in relationships among the leader trust & co-worker trust, team identification, cooperative behavior of hotel service employees will be analyzed. We conducted a survey of 450 hotel-service employees and analyzed data collected from 372 employees after removing 78 unreliable responses. As a result of a SEM analysis to confirm hypotheses, it was found that leader trust & co-worker trust had a positive effect on team identification. Team identification also had a positive influence on the cooperative behavior of hotel service employees. It was found that team identification had a partially mediating effect on the relationship between leader trust & co-worker trust and cooperative behavior. A moderating effect of employment status in the relationship between the co-worker trust and the team identification was also found.
