Summary:This study investigated the role of collective trust, collective efficacy, and enabling school structures on overall school effectiveness. While the concept of organizational effectiveness can be complex and difficult to measure, the results of this research demonstrated a connection of these variables to school effectiveness. Collective trust had a strong influence on organizational effectiveness, controlling for all the other variables including SES. This finding was consistent with earlier work of Tarter and Hoy (2004), which also indicated the significance of trust in teachers' perceptions of school effectiveness.
