Executive Summary

HEADNOTE

This article presents research findings from a dissertation study that sought to expand the level of knowledge

regarding the issue of trust in leadership relationships. Specifically, the research was to determine whether selected aspects of trust are related to specific organizational models.

The problem of the study was to determine if any relationships exits between an organizational model and the level of trust subordinates place in their leader. The study found statistically significant relationships between higher education institutions perceived to conform to Birnbaum's collegial, political, and anarchical institutional models and Butler's loyalty, availability, and openness conditions of trust.

Leadership, its concepts, theories, practices, and problems have been topics of study for centuries. Consequently, much has been written on various aspects of these subjects. However, new data gathered through detailed research into any subject often results in new questions. For example, several researchers have described alternative schema for categorizing and defining essential organizational characteristics or behaviors that make it possible to understand some types of organizational successes or failures (Birnbaum, 1988; Bolman & Deal, 1991; Higgins, 1997; Weick, 1990.
