One of the basic and important components in mutual interactions between the leader and the follower is trust in superior leadership style. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the priority of the effect of each of the leadership styles on trust in the leader and to examine the consequences of the mediating role of trust through the meta-analysis of existing research in this field.This research is practical in purpose and quantitative in terms of the nature of data. The statistical population of the study includes 257 valid domestic and foreign articles, 76 of which were analyzed using the judgment method and CMA2 software to analyze them.

Organizational commitment as one of the important organizational variables can be influenced by leadership styles and their behavior. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of ethical leadership on different dimensions of organizational commitment. Thus, we first described ethical leadership and organizational commitment and their dimensions. Then, by reviewing the literature we proposed some hypothesis to investigate the effects of the dimensions of ethical leadership on organizational commitment. Next, we collected data from the target community. Then, by using exploratory factor analysis we examined dimensions of ethical leadership and organizational commitment that it was determined three dimensions for each variable. Dimensions of ethical leadership includes morality and fairness, role clarification and power sharing and dimensions of organizational commitment are affective commitment, continuance commitment and normative commitment. Then by using confirmatory factor analysis and AMOS software we examined the hypothesis. The results show that role clarification is effective only on affective commitment. Morality and fairness are effective on affective and normative commitment. Power sharing has an impact on all three dimensions of organizational commitment

Thinkers of management regard the methods of managing and leadership of an organization from viewpoint of treating with colleagues and the manager’s attitude to organization in staffs’ reactions as an important factor. They believe these reactions as the final motivation for a better function or the loss of stimulation in staffs. Hence this is very important for leaders to try to have a good understanding of their subordinates’ locus of control in order to know motivation and the stimuli. In this direction, different researches have studied the effect of leadership style and locus of control on the organizational commitment separately, but researchers have not examined directly the relationship between leadership style and organizational commitment by regarding the staffs’ locus of control as a moderating variant yet. For this purpose, a sample size of 92 managers and staffs of Export Guarantee Fund of Iran were selected by simple random sampling method. The results indicatethat the proposed model is a good fit and staffs’ locus of control explained the effects of leadership style of managers on organizational commitment as a moderating role.
