Abstract: This study is part of the discussion on classroom and school unit relationships. In particular, the study focuses on exploring relationships of trust. The actions and the meanings of the headteachers of the school units as identities that operate in a regulatory way in the field of operation and the reason of the institution, constitute an important field of study in the Greek and international bibliography. The study focuses on the question of whether and how the selection process of education executives (school headteachers), as they have been in the last five years, has affected the relationships of trust and, consequently, the culture of the school unit. The trigger for this study was the discussion on the recent processes of assessment and selection of headteachers, as implemented in the framework of Laws 4327/2015 and 4473/2017. Our research was carried out using techniques from the toolbox of the multifaceted approach. The importance of the study of this field is strengthened, especially if we take into account the fact that the social, economic and political context in Greece in recent years is characterized by liquidity, attaching special weight to the term "trust". Indicatively, the results of the research include the link between the liquidity of the legal framework in terms of selecting headteachers and the crisis of relationships of trust, the lack of trust in almost all institutions, and the approach of headteachers that their selection processes are characterised by lack of meritocracy.

Keywords: liquidity, crisis, trust, headteachers, selection process.
