The supervisor's track record of giving employees credit for their contributions would most directly demonstrate that they value and recognize the input of their employees. This would likely increase the employee's level of trust in sharing their idea, as they would feel more confident that their idea would be recognized and potentially implemented. The other options are not as directly related to the employee's level of trust in sharing their idea.
