Sumario:An abundance of research indicates that organizational variables influence organizational success. Perception of organizational trust is one such variable; however, the literature examining this variable is sparse, and internationally focused research on organizational trust even more so. At a time when public safety and employee wellness are priorities in the correctional environment, a clearer understanding of the relationship between organizational trust and job stress is necessary. This study contributes to this literature by examining the relationships between different types of organizational trust (coworker, supervisor, and management) and job stress among Nigerian correctional staff. Results indicate that coworker and management trust were associated with lower stress from work, but supervisor trust had no significant relationship with stress.
