The study is descriptive in nature and survey method was used. The teachers of Govt. degree colleges from province Punjab are the target population of the study while the teachers working in degree colleges in three divisions are the accessible population. Multistage sampling technique was used to select the sample for this study. At first stage three divisions were selected while at the second stage, sample of 50% of the total 352 colleges from accessible population i.e., 176 colleges were taken from the given divisions. The next stage, 5 teachers from 176 colleges were selected for data collection. A questionnaire on five points Likert scale was developed to measure organizational trust level of the teachers that they perceive to have from the principals in three areas i.e., their competence, credibility, and sharing information. The descriptive statistics were used for the analysis of collected data. On the basis of findings, it was concluded that majority of overall college teachers perceived to have had moderate organizational trust from their institutions heads and there was no significant difference in the overall trust level as well as different factors (competence and to share information) among male and female teachers. On the basis of conclusions, it was recommended that Principals have low level of trust in teachers’ competence and credibility, may arrange professional trainings and mutual discussion and reflections between teaching staff for enhancing mutual trust. | 2023 |
