Survey data were collected from 176 Turkish hotel employees at two time points. Through SmartPLS, it was revealed that followers’ trust in their supervisor mediated the relationship between authentic leadership and OC. Indirect effects were found for authentic leadership on OCBs, both through trust and OC. Value congruence moderated the relationship between authentic leadership and followers’ trust in their supervisor. Results confirmed theoretical expectations, except for the surprising effect of value congruence in relationship to authentic leadership and trust.engrestrictedAccessHow authentic leadership cultivates trust and desirable workplace behaviors in hotels: Commitment and leader-follower value congruence mattersarticle22453456110.1080/15332845.2023.2207987Authentic leadershipHelping behaviorOrganizational commitmentTrustValue congruence2-s2.0-85160054689
