Public trust is critical to government effectiveness as it underpins the legitimacy of state actions. High levels of trust enhance compliance with laws and policies, facilitating smooth governance. Conversely, low trust can lead to public skepticism, reduced participation, and challenges in implementing policies. When citizens trust their leaders, they are more inclined to collaborate and support initiatives, creating an environment conducive to effective governance. Consequently, building and maintaining public trust is essential for transparent and accountable government operations.
