Abstract

This study examines whether trust mediates the relationship between organizational communication and member participation in a youth organization. A quantitative, explanatory, cross-sectional design was applied to survey data collected during a community engagement program. The population comprised 36 members, and 31 complete responses were analyzed (86% response rate). The model was evaluated using PLS-SEM through measurement-model and structural-model assessments; the indirect effect was checked using 20,000 bootstrap resamples of PLS-weighted construct scores. Organizational communication was positively associated with trust (β = 0.725, t = 9.481, p < 0.001). The paths from trust to participation (β = 0.423, p = 0.079) and from communication to participation (β = 0.384, p = 0.095) were positive but not significant at the 5% level. The indirect effect was 0.306, with a 95% confidence interval of approximately [-0.050, 0.660], which includes zero. Although the model showed acceptable convergent validity and composite reliability, HTMT values above 0.90 indicate that discriminant validity remains a concern. The findings therefore support communication as a correlate of trust, while the proposed mediation and participation paths should be interpreted as exploratory.
