Description: Thriving for student achievement and school improvement is a limitless effort. No matter how hard teachers, parents, school administrators and policy makers work, there is always room for improvement and since it is regarding children's education, any improvement is important. Aside from changing educational policies and pedagogical improvements, commitment of teachers is crucial for the success of these initiatives. One of the indicators of such involvement is teachers' willingness to devote extra effort for school improvement or organization citizenship behaviour (OCB). Teachers' OCB is affected by many factors such as the leadership behaviour of principals that enhance trust. This study investigated the relationship between trust-enhancing leadership behaviours of principals and OCB of teachers.Results showed that there is a moderate relation between level of teachers' civic virtue and principals' trust-enhancing transformational behaviours.Data for this study was provided by a survey carried out in 9 U.S. states with 3160 teachers.
