Abstract

Knowledge is a critical factor in improving performance and achieving competitive
advantage. The purpose of this study is to determine the mediating role of trust in the
relationship of socialisation, knowledge, and religiosity toward employee
performance in banking sector. This research is quantitative with an explanatory
approach. This study surveyed 200 employees of a sharia bank in Indonesia and
collected 112 respondents return the questioner. The data analysed using Partial Least
Squares Structural Equation Modelling (SEM-PLS). This study confirms that
socialisation and knowledge do not affect employee performance directly. Religiosity
affects employee performance. Trust mediates the effect of socialisation, knowledge, and religiosity on employee performance. The study provides new evidence on trust in Islamic banking sector related to socialisation, knowledge, religiosity and employee performance. Managers in Islamic banks should strengthen internal socialisation and knowledge-sharing programs that are grounded in religious values to foster greater trust among employees. By prioritising trust-building, managers can enhance employee commitment and overall performance, creating a more cohesive
and value-driven organisational culture.
