Abstract: In this study, we examine the impact of trust, gender, perceived supervisor support and job satisfaction on perceived organisational performance. The study focuses on a sample of 311 employees from the service sector in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The concepts and instruments utilised in the study were borrowed from past research and their reliability was further verified and confirmed through factor analysis and Cronbach reliability tests. We explore four main hypotheses. To test for these, regression analysis was conducted using 'process macro plug-in' developed by Hayes (2013). In strong support of the first two hypotheses, trust and job satisfaction were found to have the strongest impact on perceptions of organisational performance. Surprisingly, hypothesis 3 was not verified as supervisor support was found to play an insignificant role in shaping perceptions of organisational performance. In support of the forth hypothesis, gender was found to have a significant moderating effect on the above relationships. Further scrutiny of the role of gender revealed that the impact of trust on perceived performance was much more significant among females. Implications of these findings for future research and management practices are discussed.
