Purpose- Leadership styles such as delegative, democratic, autocratic, and ethical leadership with respect to various aspects of trust and their causal relations along with determining the salient leadership style at public schools are the purpose of this research. Our assumption is that organizational trust is at the crux of human resource management since a healthy relationship between leaders and employees is a prerequisite for open communication, knowledge sharing and conflict management.

Methodology- Our research question is to understand the basic relationships between leadership styles and trust between principals and teachers. We are conducting a survey at designated school sites. Our questionnaire is comprised of three sections: Socio-demographic variables, leadership styles and organizational trust.

Findings- We have employed structural equation modelling (SEM) and found significant relationship between leadership styles and trust and vice versa. In sum, managerial trust has a significant effect on leadership styles which reveals the fact that dyadic relationships between leaders and employees enhance mutual trust.

Conclusion- In sum, managerial trust has a significant effect on leadership styles which reveals the fact that dyadic relationships between leaders and employees enhance mutual trust. Such relationships need to be considered in human resource management (SHRM).
