Background: Based on social exchange within organizations for individuals with intellectual disability, we explore trust between supervisors and team members and its association with organizational performance oriented to the quality of life of service users.
Aims: We examine the mediating role of teams' trust in supervisors in the relationship between supervisors' trust in teams and performance focused on improving the quality of life of service users. We expect teams to reciprocate supervisors' trust by reporting greater levels of trust in supervisors and better performance.

We used data from 111 centers.
