Trustworthiness (credibility and dependability of the findings) will be established through triangulation of the deriving themes of two or three researchers.
In qualitative research the findings are evaluated in terms of trustworthiness (credibility, dependability, and transferability) instead of the conventional criteria of validity and reliability [ 19].
To support the trustworthiness (credibility, dependability and confirmability) of the findings, all participants reviewed the workshop methods and findings to confirm that the recommendations were internally coherent and supported by the data [ 27].
As the design is qualitative it should be assessed by means of trustworthiness, which includes credibility, transferability and dependability.
Character virtues are qualities such as trustworthiness, forgiveness, loyalty, consideration, thankfulness, flexibility, and dependability.
The four trustworthiness criteria are credibility, confirmability, transferability and dependability [ 22].
Lincoln & Guba's [ 35] criteria for establishing trustworthiness: credibility, dependability, confirmability and transferability, were applied in this study.
The qualitative design of the present study implies that trustworthiness in term of credibility, transferability, confirmability and dependability has to be taken in consideration [ 27, 40].
Two critical elements: perceived competence (people's faith in the leader's knowledge, skills, and ability to do the job) and trustworthiness (their belief in his or her values and dependability).3 Such views are formed through direct and indirect observation of the leader's work and performance.
The design is qualitative which implies that it should be assessed by means of trustworthiness [ 31], which comprises credibility, transferability, conformability and dependability.
