This study aims to examine how principal's moral leadership influences on teachers' trust in him/her and their teaching commitment The study found that male teachers with longer career and higher status in elementary school rather than middle or high schools showed a high trust in principal's moral leadership, Teaching commitment showed a statistically significant difference in school levels. The elementary school teachers showed the highest teaching commitment, and then middle school teachers and high school teachers in the order of highest level of commitment. There is a statistically significant static correlation between principal's moral leadership and teachers' trust in principal and their teaching commitment, especially between a sense of educational profession, one of sub-variables of principal's moral leadership and teachers' sincerity, one of sub-variables of teachers' trust in principal, and between a sense of accountability, one of sub-variables of principal's moral leadership and teachers' love for teaching, one of sub-variables of teachers' teaching commitment. The study found that a sense of justice and accountability, two of sub-variables of principal's moral leadership have the highest influence on teachers' trust in principal and their teaching commitment, respectively. These findings suggest that high moral leadership of principal may enhance teachers' trust in principal and teaching commitment.
