Year: 2011
Type: article
Abstract: effectively with their principal.Most of the teacher/participants felt that they could provide accurate and honest information to their principal, but they also felt that the communication they received from the principal was not mutually accurate or honest.The majority of teacher/participants also felt that their diminished perception of trust impeded their overall working relationship with their principal.Furthermore, the teacher/participants indicated that the higher their perception of trust with their principal, the more open and honest their working relationship was with their principal.Conversely, the lower their perception of trust, the less open and honest their working relationship was with their principal.Related components which surfaced through discussions of trust included aspects of communication, leadership characteristics, and general characteristics necessary to build avenues of trust between two individuals.Recommendations include suggestions for further research in the area of trust and its impact on education.To my parents, Dr. Robert Francis Scarr, Ph.D. and Jean Lowry Scarr, who for their entire lives, have fostered the spirit of education and the quest for knowledge and selfimprovement in their own lives as well as those of their three children and eight grandchildren.They have kindled my passion for learning, and have inspired my journey through this doctoral program, my professional life, and my personal endeavors.To my sister, Lynn Elizabeth Blakemore, and my brother, James Lowry Scarr, who have given me the encouragement to realize my dreams
