Therefore, our community requires committing the employees to do things right through tools and resources of power that are handled by leaders and managers, and affect the behavior of employees.

According to nature of subject, the research is descriptive correlation.

Among five resources of power, expertise and referent power had positive relation with employee commitment and other resources had negative relation.
