Abstract: On the contrary to business organisation, several researchers argue that instructional leadership is the most appropriate style for educational organisations. This study aims to investigate: (1) the effect of resource capacity, quality management, and communication on trust; and (2) the influence of trust on instructional leadership. This study was conducted using a survey method on high school teachers in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Using a purposive sampling technique, researchers collected 352 responses which were then analysed using SEM-PLS. From three antecedents, communication was found as the most significant antecedent to explain trust between staff. Furthermore, trust has a substantial impact on Instructional Leadership.
