Abstract
The purpose of this research is to investigate the role of authentic leadership on the social performance of Shahr Bank branches with the mediating role of public trust (case study: Mashhad Shahr Bank branches). In terms of methodology, the current research is a descriptive and applied study investigating the phenomena cross-sectionally. The statistical population of this research includes 135 employees of Bank Shahr Mashhad branches, 100 of whom were selected as a statistical sample based on Cochran's formula. To conduct this research, authentic leadership questionnaires were used by Gatlin et al. (2016), and social performance by Lecomte et al. To analyze the data, PLS software was used at two levels of descriptive and inferential statistics. Analysis of the hypotheses using structural equation modeling showed that the t-value between the variables of authentic leadership and social performance is 9.342 between authentic leadership. Public trust is 7.631 and between public trust and social performance is 697 2. which have a value greater than 1.96, so the relationship between the exogenous variable of authentic leadership on the endogenous and dependent variable of social performance is confirmed concerning the mediating role of public trust at the confidence level of 0.95. Therefore, it can be concluded that authentic leadership significantly affects the social performance of Bank Shahr branch employees due to the mediating role of public trust. Based on the results of this hypothesis, managers and officials of Bank Shahr branches can strengthen the influence of authentic leadership on the social performance of the organization by strengthening public trust.
