The present study aimed to investigate the effect of ethical leadership on job attachment with the mediating role of trust building among the teachers and present a structural equation model. This study was methodologically descriptive-correlational, and the statistical population consisted of 390 All physical education teachers in Zahedan. Using Krejcie and Morgan’s sample size determination table, the study calculated the sample size at 198, and the sampling method was simple randomization. The ethical leadership questionnaire by Carlson et al (2011), job involvement questionnaire Edwards and Kilpatrick (1984), and trust building questionnaire Tarzi et al (2014) were employed for data collection. Eight specialists confirmed the content validity of the questionnaires according to the CVR and CVI indices. Moreover, the reliabilities of the scales were estimated at 0.900, 0.823, and 0.932, respectively, based on the Cronbach alpha coefficient. The data derived from the questionnaires were analyzed by the SPSS 23 and LISREL 8.8 software at the two levels of descriptive and inferential statistics, including Pearson correlation coefficient, and structural equation modeling. The results of the Pearson correlation and structural equation modeling displayed that ethical leadership directly affected job involvement and trust building, and job involvement directly affected trust building. But the indirect effect of moral leadership on job attachment through confidence building has been less than its direct effect.
