Summary
Managers' merit [1] is very important as it contributes to achieving managerial function and organizational goals. Zaccaro and Banks [2] state that the desired managers' merit is the sum of the managers' experience, knowledge, skills and social positions as a whole. According to Shirazi and Mortazavi [3], merit should be a criterion in the evaluation process of the desired managers that the organizations seek to achieve their goals. It is clear that the public manager selections that made in the direction of similarity or dissimilarity criteria (separatist tendency) do not meet the principles of meritocracy and would not lead to achieve managerial and organizational goals
