In social science literature, power is taken as a relative concept used for description of invisible or controlling power exercised by a man or secondary unit of an organization with respect to others. Managers play a key role in the development of organizational culture, they are supposed to have sufficient authority to manage the behavior of their staff members and employ that authority rationally regarding the organization situation and culture.
As an attempt in this line, this study aimed to identify the most advantageous type of power being employed by managers and commanders. To do so, an AHP approach was followed to explore their prioritization of power employment. As an applied- field study in design and methodology, respectively, this study was run through administering a questionnaire for data collection purpose from 60 randomly selected participants. The findings revealed that power of Islamic authority (Marjaeiat) is still judged as the most welcomed and accepted power type for managers and organizations. It is hoped that the findings can be of use for researchers, manager, and commanders.
