By considering spiritual rationality, we can gain a right decision: a decision that is rational and spiritual. The main purpose of this research is to explore the main characteristics of Right Decision and present them in the form of a model by using Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) method according to experts’ opinion. As a result, 10 main characteristics of right decision be considered and a hierarchy model with three levels has been obtained.
