The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of Teachers' Trust in principals and colleagues to school organizational effectiveness and how their trust in them affected school organizational effectiveness in a bid to explore how mutual confidence among principals and teachers, the major members of school organization, could be boosted to elevate school organizational effectiveness.
The brief findings of the study were as follows:
First, the reliance of the teachers investigated on principals and coworkers had a correlational relationship to school organizational effectiveness. So principals and teachers should make concerted efforts to create mutually trustworthy relations to improve school organizational effectiveness. Specifically, principals should exert the kind of leadership that could enjoy the confidence of teachers, and strive to generate a reliable organizational climate among teachers.
Second, as for the influence of school characteristics on the trust of the teachers in principals and colleagues, the private school teachers and secondary school teachers put less faith in them than the national/public school teachers and secondary school teachers respectively As it's proven that the reliance of the teachers on principals and colleagues had an impact on school organizational effectiveness, what made the private and secondary school teachers relied less on principals and colleagues should closely be inspected, and in which way their mutual trust could be taken to another level should be considered.
Third, the effort by this study to justify the influence of the reliance of teachers on principals and coworkers as one of the factors to concern school organizational effectiveness served as a vital opportunity to accentuate the importance of confidence in association with the organizational performance of school as well as of other types of organizations. More sustained experimental research should be conducted in the future to detect the relationship between confidence and other multiple variables of school organization.
