The explanation of the relation between the organizational trust, organizational support and organizational commitment levels of the teachers and administrators with a mathematical model has been realized via multiple linear regression analysis and in the analyses enter method has been used. When the variance analysis regarding the perceptions of the administrators and teachers about organizational trust, organizational support and organizational commitment is inspected, the organizational commitments of the administrators and teachers exhibit a meaningful difference according to the joint impact of organizational trust and organizational support. The multiple linear regression model calculated has been also supported by LISREL software. According to the findings obtained as a result of the studies carried out within this framework, it is concluded that organizational trust and organizational support are the most substantial factors that affect the organizational commitment.

The reliability and validity results are examined by applying the confirmatory factor analysis to the scales. According to the obtained findings, a relationship that is significant at enough level and in the same direction is ascertained between the transactional leadership behaviours and the job motivation (r= .383 p<0.01) while a relationship that is significant at medium level and in the same direction is ascertained between the learning organization dimensions and the job motivation (r= 0.696 p<0.01). It can be seen that the model can be accepted according to the obtained values of the goodness of fit, when the model test results are analysed by the structural equation modelling analysis, too.
