Abstract (2. Language): 
The aim of this paper is to analyze the influence of transformational leadership on organizational trust. For that we develop a case study following a quantitative methodological approach. The research was conducted at the Serralves Foundation (Porto, Portugal) to empirically test the proposed research model and its hypotheses. The empirical results confirm that transformational leadership positively influences organizational trust in all its components (benevolence, competence and integrity). These may assist cultural organizations in defining the most appropriate leadership styles that could lead to high levels of trust. As the main limitation of this study, we highlight the fact that it does not consider the leaders’ perspective on their subordinates’ behaviour.

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la influencia del liderazgo transformacional en la confianza de la organización. Para ello se ha desarrollado un estudio de caso siguiendo un enfoque metodológico cuantitativo. La investigación se ha realizado en la Fundación Serralves (Porto, Portugal), con el fin de probar empíricamente el modelo de investigación propuesto y sus hipótesis. Los resultados empíricos confirman que el liderazgo transformacional influye positivamente en la confianza de toda la organización (benevolencia, competencia e integridad) y pueden ayudar a las organizaciones a definir los estilos de liderazgo más apropiados para generar un alto grado de confianza. La principal limitación de este estudio es que no contempla el punto de vista de los líderes sobre el comportamiento de sus subordinados.
