public trust
Public trust refers to the level of confidence and belief that the general population has in the actions, decisions, and capabilities of a government, public institution, or organization. It is the expectation that these entities will act in the best interests of the public, operate ethically, transparently, and efficiently, and fulfill their duties responsibly. The public trust is integral to the social contract and democratic governance and can be affected by the perceived legitimacy, honesty, and integrity of these institutions.
