        The current research seeks to explain the relationship between organizational culture and decision styles inorder to provide a model for effective decision styles in different organizational cultures. In fact, the mainquestion is that "is there any relationship between using different decision styles and organizationefficiency", and if the answer is yes, which model com show this relationship? And, "is that model applied inthe statistical universe in the some manner?' Also, problems concerning the decision style of managers whichas a concealed but important and in fluential factor has not been sufficiently examined yet, and identifyingdecision styles among managers of statistical universe are the other key questions Pursued in this research.Studies on 61 organizations in Khorasan Razavi Province show that there are relationships betweendifferent decision styles (e.g. Directive, analytical, behavioral, conceptual) and various organizationalcultures (e.g. Role, power, support, achievement) as follows:- In organizations with a role culture, there is a direct and meaningful correlation between analyticaldecision style and performance.- In organizations with a power culture, there is a direct and meaningful correlation between directivedecision style and performance.- In organizations with a support culture, there is a direct and meaningful correlation between behavioraldecision style and performance.- In organizations with an achievement culture, there is a direct and, meaningful correlation betweenconceptual decision style and performance.Given that in role culture and in power culture, both the analytical and directive decision styles have adirect meaningful correlation with performance on one hand, and on the other hand descriptive findingsshow that wherever there is a role culture, one finds a power culture too, and finally the observations andinterviews of researcher in organization included in statistical universe, the researcher decided to categorizethe above tow cultures under one label and the relevant two decision styles under one label too; thus with theapproval of the knowledgeable experts, I chose the label of dominance-oriented culture instead of the roleand power cultures and the label of pragmatic decision-making style in place both analytical and directivedecision styles.In fact, the dominance- oriented culture is the organizational culture that is characterized by role and powerfeatures simultaneously and has the most frequency in statistical universe; the pragmatic decision-makingstyle is one which is formed by combining directive and analytical styles; i.e., it is vertical, rational andhierarchic from the thinking style point of view and is power- oriented from the other dimension point ofview Manuscript profile
