Abstract

The study aims to examine the effect of ethical leadership on employees’ trust in management/administrators. To support the theory of the study, literature was reviewed. The study used assessment and correlational research design. The population of the study are employees of the Divine Word College of Laoag and total enumeration was used. Data gathering instruments were validated questionnaires which were adopted from Yukl, et al. (2013) and Seok, et al. (2015). The results indicate that ethical leadership and employees' trust in management are considered high and the correlation coefficient suggests that there is a significant correlation between ethical leadership and employees' trust in management.
