The decline of Social Trust in a political system is due to various factors, of which the inefficiency of the agents of the political system is one of the most important factors. The agents of the system are an integral part of the government and therefore their performance determines the efficiency or inefficiency of the system. Differences in worldview and anthropology have created a variety of concepts in the fields of political science and sociology, and efficiency is one of the key concepts in this field. In this article, the author examines the effect of the inefficiency of agents of the political system on the decline of Social Trust from Imam Khomeini’s point of view. For this purpose, various theories in this field have been studied and with emphasis on Imam Khomeini’s thought, the issue of research has been explained. The research method is descriptive-analytical and Robert Putnam’s theory has been used as a theoretical model. Results show that according to Imam Khomeini, the foundation of a society is based on Trust. The decline of Social Trust in any system will have consequences, the most important of which is the decline of social participation and, consequently, the decline of the legitimacy of the political system. Declining legitimacy will also put the system in crisis.
