Abstract

Management styles are explicit ways of making decisions. These styles can vary depending on factors such as community culture, task expectancy, workforce diversity and personality features, and finally, the abilities of leaders. A number of ancient sources are a reflection of management styles of their period; in this regard, the Shah Tahmasebi Shahnameh which is written based on Ferdowsi Shahnameh is considered as such. There are three mythological, epic and historical periods in Ferdowsi's Shahnameh. Ferdowsi first applies the symbolic use of myth to express the management principles of kings and according to the epic atmosphere of such myths, he narrates the privileged views and superior management of the character. The method of conducting the present study is a descriptive-analytical method based on library data. The management styles studied in the present study are based on Tannbao and Schmidt (1973) theory of management styles, including: independent or authoritarian management style, sincere or paternal management style, democratic management style and free or non-intervention management style. The results indicate that Ferdowsi's poems create a new story by using figurative and symbolic language and through their political, social and cultural tendencies, have portrayed the management styles of kings and commanders.
