The population considered for this study consists of all the 415 employees of Imam Khomeini International University. The needed sample number, based on Krejcie and Morgan table, was 205. In order to collect the required data, the servant leadership questionnaire (Gholipour et al. 2009), moral intelligence questionnaire (Kiel & Lennick, 2005) and organizational trust questionnaire (Shafiee, 2011) were used, utilizing the Likert spectrum. The validity of the questionnaires was confirmed by the experts and the Cronbach’s alpha was used in order to evaluate the reliability. The calculated Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for the servant leadership, moral intelligence and organizational trust questionnaires were 0.95, 0.89 and 0.92 respectively.
