Abstract :

Social development in any society depends on many factors, so that it is not possible to write a single version for all societies. One of the most important factors in social development is leadership styles in various social fields. However, there is much disagreement about which leadership style is more appropriate in different organizations and social arenas. In the present study, we compared the two styles of ethical and charismatic leadership among employees of public and private organizations in Tehran and showed that although, in theory, charismatic leadership style may be more appropriate or attractive for Iranian organizations, ethical leadership style from the perspective of employees. These organizations are more appropriate and are considered a way for more social development. The results show that not only are employees' evaluations of their performance in both the public and private sectors positive, but they also consider ethical management style to be more effective in increasing and improving their performance than charismatic leadership style. Overall, government employees are more positive about this style of leadership than private sector employees.
