Abstract
Using structural equation modeling this study investigates casual relationship between transformational leadership, procedural justice and teacher trust in principal in two different models. A sample including 652 teachers were selected and data were collected through three questionnaires. Results demonstrate that a model which hypothesizes direct and indirect effect of transformational leadership on trust in principal has better fit to data and explains .66 variance of trust in principal. Also procedural justice has partial mediating role between transformational leadership and teacher trust in principal. The results were discussed in the final section of the article.
