The purpose of the study is to investigate the relationship between organizational trust and school mindfulness. To
achieve this purpose, a quantitative approach and relational design were preferred, and School Mindfulness Scale
and Organizational Trust Scale were used as data collection tools. The study sample consisted of 495 participants
working in public schools in İstanbul province. The data was evaluated using arithmetic mean, correlation and
regression analysis. According to the results, trust in the principal and colleagues improves school mindfulness.
Furthermore, trust in the principal increases the mindfulness of the school principal, while trust in colleagues
enhances mindfulness among the faculty. It can therefore be said that school principals may prefer to strengthen
organizational trust to increase the level of mindfulness within the school.
