Indian industries have started taking preventive actions to sustain and retain their
high-skilled employees in the organizations. In India human resources managers are
facing problems due to the employees’ turnover. Trustworthy behaviour is one of the
important predictors which may play important role in reducing the turnover intention.
The present study was conducted on 117 front level managers of Indian organizations to
examine the role of managerial trustworthy behaviour in turnover intention. The results
of correlation coefficients indicate that manner and quality of information communicated
