Abstract: Technology transfer and the employees’ inclination to accept it is not always an easy process as they tend to be resistant to it. This paper intended to use leadership styles to present a model which could facilitate technology application by employees. The research was conducted in two phases: in phase one, technology acceptance criteria were identified and graded from the most relevant to the least relevant by ten experts selected from among Iranian university professors and defense industry specialists. Then, based on the acquired weights and by using Multimoora method, leadership styles indexes were prioritized. In the second phase, with the help of the same experts, indexes with higher grades were classified and relations among them were determined by applying interpretive structural modeling technique. Findings show that strategic leadership orientation, ability to establish leader communication and leader’s decisiveness are the most effective in facilitating employee’s technology acceptance.
