As I dig through the literature (I've spent a lot of time in the
trust lit lately), I keep coming back to the question of BI having
unique antecedents and consequences for different targets.  Most (all?)
of the BI literature focuses on the subordinate's perceptions of BI of
their manager. 

   Do you know of any studies that might also investigate BI perceptions
of peers (“My co-worker doesn't do what they say they will do”) or the
manager's perceived BI of the subordinate (“My employee doesn't do what
they say they will do”)?  I suspect that the “antecedent–> inconsistent
subord behavior–> BI–> trust–> outcome” propositions will be based on
LMX literature, which is just fine.  The ingroup/outgroup relationship
represents a certain level of trust emerging from a role
episode/behavior/attribution/perception process, so it compliments the
Behavioral integrity peice very nicely.  I would even argue that in this
context, integrity and ability would outweigh the benevolence dimension,
given the unique power differential.  I'll stop beating the horse   

   Are you familiar with any studies that look at BI from a manager's or
peer's perspective?
