Abstract

This article is part of the findings of a research conducted on designing and explaining strategic control of logistic systems. The research method is a descriptive-analytic one, the population and sample of which included experts and managers of logistic organizations. Questionnaires were employed for measurement purposes. The questionnaires were polarized for two situations of war and peace. The responses were classified according to Likert's five-choice spectrum. SPSS statistical program was used for the analysis of individual information, with regard to the properties and functions of affirmative factor analysis. For measuring the reliability of the constructed model, measuring tools, and testing the effective relation of the factors to the research model, we used measuring equations model. Freidman's test was used for ranking and deciding on the priorities of the factors. Finally, considering the effective factors influencing the model of finding out the relationship and priorities of these factors, the human-oriented strategic control model was designed and then tested according to two strategic reference points. The points were: 1) the amount of consideration, and 2) reflexivity. In this mode four control strategies: 1) commitment-orientation, 2) participation- orientation, 3) trust-orientation, and 4) relation-orientation are determined according to the priorities of war and peace. The results indicated that the model was quite integrated
