Abstract
The study was conducted to find out the levels of trust, levels of leadership integrity and levels of commitment among teachers as well as if trust and leadership integrity significantly predict commitment, and also if trust really mediates the relationship between trust and commitment. This study used a convergent mixed method design with a total of 17 participants for qualitative data, specifically 10 participants for the individual interview and 7 for focus group discussion. Meanwhile, a total of 200 teachers were asked to answer the survey questionnaire for the quantitative data. A survey questionnaire was used to gather data on trust, leadership integrity and commitment. The result revealed that there is a high level of trust, high level of leadership integrity and high commitment level. Moreover, all the variables trust and leadership integrity significantly predicts commitment. On the other hand, trust and leadership integrity has a significant indirect effect on quality of commitment. This implies that leadership integrity really mediates the relationship between trust and commitment. Meanwhile, two themes emerge from the interview which put emphasis on pedagogical alignment and educational goals, alongside access, training, and support. Furthermore, data revealed a strong confirmation on the corroboration between the quantitative data and the qualitative data. This study recommended that organizations prioritize the cultivation of leadership integrity as a fundamental component of their sustainable development strategies. Given the mediating role of leadership integrity on employees' trust and commitment, organizations should invest in leadership development programs that emphasize ethical leadership practices, transparency, and accountability
