Abstract: Abstract The study aimed to answer what explains the perceived trustworthiness of female civil servants in three South Asian countries using a country-representative survey (n = 6240; 2,740 in Bangladesh; 2,256 in Nepal and 1,244 in Sri Lanka). The study finds that efficiency, level of corruption, life satisfaction, and generalized trust seem to have varied levels of impact in determining the trustworthiness of female civil servants. Perceived efficiency level is closely associated with the degree of trust in female civil servants in Bangladesh and Nepal, whereas corruption seems to have a significant influence in Sri Lanka. Life satisfaction affects all three countries, gender affects Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, whereas education has a positive association in Nepal and Sri Lanka.
