This study investigates the levels of transformational leadership (TL), teachers' trust (TT), and work commitment (WC) in Government Funded Religious Schools (GFRS) in Selangor, Malaysia, and the mediating role of TT between TL and WC. A survey of 297 teachers revealed high levels of TL, TT, and WC. TL significantly predicted TT and WC, but TT did not significantly predict WC, indicating that TT did not mediate the relationship between TL and WC. The study suggests that other factors, such as group dynamics and working conditions, may influence WC.
