        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. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of the present study is to review the components of Imām Khomeyni's leadership and behavior from the view of theorists in the field of political psychology and political science. In this regard and using a descriptive-analytic method, it was attempted to explain the essence, character, and political behavior of his leadership and the cause of his deep impact on the social, cultural, and political transformations. The comparative review of the two theories by Alfred Adler and Max Weber and leadership characteristics of Imām Khomeyni revealed that some of appropriate strategies in his political behavior include commitment, justice, self-purification, avoidance of hypocrisy, life style, creativity, decisiveness, and so on. Contrary to charismatic leaders and Max Weber's theory, he paid attention to the consolidating role of people and regarded the source of legitimacy to be divine not personal. He was immensely against gathering fanatic followers for himself as well as mass and passive outlook on people. Manuscript profile

        The relationship and ratio between philosopher king, charisma and Imam has been analyzed in the system of thinking of many of Muslim philosophers in different ideational aspects in the mid-centuries of Islam. Each of them has expressed views is this regard based on their own socio-political ideas from among whom Farabi, Avicenna, Al-Mawardi, Ibn Taqtaqi, Khwajeh Nezam Al-Molk, Ghazali, Ibn Taymiyya, Mesquiyya Razi, Fadlullah Ruzbahan Khanji et.al can be named. Of course, the issue of philosopher king before being centralized by Muslim philosophers had been regarded as Platonic political views and accordingly, the effects of ideas of Plato and even Aristotle on the Islamic philosophers opinions cannot be abandoned just as this is clearly seen in ideas of Farabi, Avicenna and other thinkers. Therefore, the common features of three components of philosopher king, charisma and Imam demand contemplation in the eyes of Shiism. Manuscript profile

        Rahat-Al-Sodour and Ayat-Al-Sorour (603Ah.) is a historic book by Mohammad-Ibn-Ali-Ibn-Soleiman Raavandi in Seljuk dynasty. In addition to its historic advantages, from its perspicuity of composition and intricacy of the abundant social information, this book is considered as one of the most authentic and beneficial Persian books before the Mongol attack.  The topic of charisma could be compared in this work with the other Persian-language works. One of the other famous Persian-language works is Beihaghi’s History, which had been authorized by Abolfazl Beihaghi, as a historic-literary book, and its main topic is the history of the first Masoud monarchy as the son of Mahmoud Ghaznavi. Therefore, charisma topic could be investigated in comparing these two given works. This topic has a particular glitter in both works. The most significant question mentioned in this query is that how are both authors’ viewpoints to the charismatic myth? It is concluded that although in Rahat-Al-Sodour and Beihaghi’sHistory, the topic of charismatic myth is obvious and traceable, their both viewpoints to this topic is different in concepts and application. The charismatic myth in Rahat-Al-Sodouris presented in the form of function, visual manifestation, celestial endorsement, and stipulation to the charismatic lexicon and in Beihaghi’s History is more conducted in the form and vesture of celestial fatalism, some ceremonial manifestation such as Mehregan festival, the power of hunting the Lion by Masoud, and etc. This research is conducted by the content analysis and using the library-based sources.

Besides their historical efficacies, these two books are among the most valuable Persian books which are considered, from the abundant literary and social information, as the most authentic and most worthwhile Persian books.

The research findings have indicated that belief-in-Charisma in two given books have perked in kings related macro-incidents and some of their features and behaviours. In the present research, the researcher has shown charismatic glitters in four obvious usages of Charisma word of which the charismatic visual appearances, self-working charisma, and charismatic appearance are demonstrated as celestial authentication through content-analysis method as well as the library-based resources.

        Abstract: The main purpose of the study was to pursue the relationship between transformational and transactional leadership styles Concerning Fars Province Educational Office experts' attitude toward organizational change. The population and sample of the research consisted of all Fars Province Educational Office experts in academic year 2007-08. The sample consisted of 202 male and 28 female experts. Two instruments were used: one was designed for transformational leadership and the other for measuring attitude towards organizational change. The first questionnaire consisted of five dimensions: 1. Charismatic leadership 2.Intellectual stimulation 3.Individual consideration, 4.Contingent reward, and 5.Management-by-Exception. Of the five, the last two dimensions belonged to the transactional leadership. The second questionnaire consisted of three dimensions including 1.cognitive, 2.affective, and 3.behavioral. The reliability and validity of the instruments were measured and approved. In order to analyze the data, statistical techniques such as Pearson Correlation Coefficients and Multiple Regression were used. The results were indicative of several points: There were significant relationship between charismatic leadership (r=0.32, p<0.01)  and cognitive dimension; intellectual stimulation with cognitive(r=0.21, p<0.01) and behavioral (r=0.23, p<0.01) dimensions; contingent reward with cognitive (r=0.28, 0.01), affective (r=-0.15, p<0.01), and behavioral (r=0.23, p<0.01) dimensions; management-by-exception and affective (r=-0.20, p<0.01) dimension, but the relationship between dimensions of transactional leadership and affective dimension of the attitudes towards organizational change was negative. Results also showed that charismatic leadership dimension was capable to predict affective (β =0.52, P<0.003) and cognitive (β =1.1, P<0.001) dimensions and that contingent reward was capable to predict behavioral dimension (β=0.41, P<0.001) of the attitude towards organizational change.
