This study examines the relationship between organizational trust and job satisfaction, which is considered as one of the most critical work attitude in an organization. It also examines the role of gender as a moderator between organizational trust and job satisfaction. Data is collected from National Capital Region (NCR) of India. The respondents were part of organizations that come under the umbrella of Tourism industry. Statistical techniques like simple linear equation and hierarchical multiple regression were used to find the results. The results indicate that trust significantly predicts job satisfaction and gender moderates their relationship. The outcomes are discussed and scope for further research is delineated.
