The paternalistic leadership style is rooted in the oriental culturalbackground and is different from the western leadership styles. Currentlymost researchers believe that the paternalistic leadership consists of threedimensions: authoritarian leadership, benevolent leadership and moralleadership. Existing studies show that the moral and benevolent leadershipstyles have positive influences on the employees’ work attitudes andbehaviors. However, there exists a big difference on behalf of the role ofthe authoritarian leadership. For example, some researchers believe that theauthoritarian leadership has negative effect on the employees’ work attitudesand behaviors; some believe that the effect is not significant; and someeven believe the effect is positive. Based on the data analysis of 761surveyed employees, it is found that the authoritarian leadership consists oftwo dimensions: zhuan-quan leadership and shang-yan leadership. Thezhuan-quan leadership behavior has a negative impact on the employees’work attitudes and behaviors, while the shang-yan leadership style has apositive impact on them. The four-dimension model can better explain theeffectiveness of the paternalistic leadership and the existing academicdifferences. The benevolent, moral and Shang-Yan leaderships can enhanceemployees’ job engagement, but the zhuan-quan leadership behavior willreduce the employees’ job engagement. Further analysis shows that the employees’ point of control plays the role as a moderator between thebenevolent leadership and the employees’ job engagement. Specifically,compared with the internally controlled employees, the externally controlledemployees are more vulnerable to the influence of the benevolentleadership behaviors.
