This research examines the impacts of relationship‐based antecedents (e.g., procedural justice) and character‐based antecedents (e.g., transactional leadership) on managerial trust in new product development (NPD) teams. The moderating impact of environmental turbulence on team performance is also investigated. Using data from 107 NPD projects in Turkey, we find that procedural justice, distributive justice, and transformational leadership are significantly related, and conflict is negatively related to managerial trust. We also find that managerial trust is significantly related to product success and team learning under both high and low environmental conditions, but it is significantly related to speed‐to‐market only under high‐turbulent conditions. We conclude by discussing the theoretical and managerial implications.
