Summary/Abstract: Based on three rounds of teacher survey (2004, 2009, 2014), our study aims to explore how organisational trust in schools as perceived by teachers changed between 2004 and 2014, whether the years of conducting the surveys (as time factors) explain teachers’ levels of trust and that what factors influence significantly the individual perceptions of teachers regarding organisational trust. Our results based on linear regression models indicate that changes in the ten years under scrutiny cannot be described as a linear process: compared to 2004, there was an increase of trust in 2009 but following that, a significant decline of trust occurred in 2014. Furthermore, in 2014, instead of individual characteristics, it was formal (regional location, maintainer) and informal (school climate) factors that exerted a significant influence on teachers’ perceptions regarding organisational trust.
