This study determined the mediating effect of leadership trust on the link between organizational commitment and willingness to remain in the profession among 300 teachers in the Division of Davao del Sur, the Philippines, using a non-experimental quantitative descriptive-correlational research design. Weighted mean, Pearson r, and path analysis using AMOS were used for data analysis. Findings revealed that the level of Organizational Commitment and level of Job Satisfaction are “high,” while the level of willingness to remain in the profession is “very high.” Organizational commitment positively and significantly correlated with willingness to stay in the work (r=0.162) and leadership trust (r=0.573). Also, Leadership Trust positively and significantly correlated with overall Willingness to Remain in the profession (r=0.386). Utilizing path analysis, the study revealed complete mediation of leadership trust on the association between organizational commitment and willingness to remain in work. This means that leadership trust is why organizational commitment can influence the desire to stay in the profession.
