The study presents a new aspect of organizational power system. The basic tendency in a power system is to control all the connections of organizational social relations. This aim however is unrealistic. Many of the relations of a social system are out of control. The uncontrollable relations result in uncertainty and risk for power. It cannot grasp many informal relations, the thoughts of people, etc. The article deals with chains of organizational causes and effects, for the transparency of these relations is important for the apex of power. The second part of the study points out the very different characteristics of the top and the other parts of the system of power. After the study of the differences between the two parts an analysis of trust in the power mechanism as a key relation in the organizations is given. Trust is not an ethical category, but one of power. So trust can be understood as a key word in the logic of power.

The first part of this study includes the definition of power. Organizations have two subsystems, the subsystem of professional activity (production, service, etc.) and the subsystem of power. From an economic angle the organisation has to finance both the power as well as the professional subsystems. In the relationship between the organisation and the environment a weak power position causes losses, and a strong power position results in extra-profit. The second part of the study presents the functioning of the logic of power. It is pointed out that power relations would shape the elements of organisational and social structure, their linkages and mutual effects more than, for instance economic relations or ethical principles would do. Since each system is held together by power the paper is of the view that analyses based on the logic of power have priority. The paper presents the mechanisms of the logic of power and how that logic differs from the logic of the economy and morals. The study shows the mechanism of the logic of power and its essential difference from economic and ethical interpretations
