The aim of the study was to determine the impact of vertical trust on the proinnovation attitude of employees. Huge interest in trust in interpersonal relations and relations between organizations, even at the macro level, underlines the significance of this phenomenon in the modern world. This article presents the results based on a group of 262 respondents. It was assumed that a higher level of trust in the relations with superiors stimulate pro-innovation attitudes in knowledge-based enterprises. The results obtained confirm the argument set out.

Duże zainteresowanie zaufaniem zarówno w relacjach interpersonalnych, relacjach pomiędzy organizacjami, jak i w skali makro podkreśla jego znaczenia we współczesnym świecie. Artykuł prezentuje rezultaty badań na podstawie 262 respondentów. Założono, że im wyższy poziom zaufania w relacjach przełożony – podwładny, tym bardziej stymulująco działa na postawy proinnowacyjne podwładnych. Uzyskane rezultaty potwierdziły założoną tezę.
