Abstract: In this study, it was aimed to determine the relationship between the roles of school administrators, influencing tactics they employ and teachers’ trust in the administrators. Furthermore, examining the school administrators’ managing roles, influence tactics, and teachers' level of trust in the administrator, according to teachers' perceptions, are among the aims of the study. For this purpose, relational survey model was used. The study was conducted in the public schools located in the city center of Denizli, Turkey. In the study, the data were collected through The Personal Information Form, The School Administrator Roles Scale, The Influencing Tactics Scale and The Trust in Administrator Scale. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to test the relationships between school administrators’ managing roles, their influencing tactics and teachers’ trust in their administrators. In addition, t-test and oneway ANOVA analysis were used to determine the effect of demographic factors on variables.The results of the research show that the hypothesis model established to explain the trust in the administrator as a whole demonstrates good compliance values and it has been verified.In the study, it was concluded that the administrator roles predicted the trust in the administrator significantly and directly and predicted the trust in the administrator significantly and indirectly through apprising, motivating and pressure tactics. School administrators’ performing administrator roles causes them to use apprising and motivating tactics more among all the influencing tactics and use pressure tactics less.In the light of this study, research ideas in which variables such as leadership styles, management styles, organizational conflict, organizational culture and types, organizational change, alienation to work, organizational commitment are considered as independent or mediating variables and conceptual models are created and tested can be suggested.
