Abstract
Purpose
State suspicion is a suspension in employees’ cognitive and motivational drives toward the organization.

An understanding was also sought on moderating roles of employees’ attachment styles on the negative relationship between CQ and state suspicion.

Findings
The data provided evidence for the negative effect of leaders’ CQ on employees’ state suspicion. Employee attachment styles were also found to play the moderating roles for that negative relationship.
