ABSTRACT

Authoritarian leadership is one of the main ways of paternalistic leadership. Firstly, the paper briefly describes the characteristic of authoritarian leadership, the leadership behavior, and the member reaction. And then, the paper studies on authoritarian leader-member relationship based on the organization-team-individual level. Specifically, based on the organization level variable, it analyses authoritarian leader-member relationship from three fields that are organization structure, organization ethics and culture, and organization commitment. Based on the team level variable, it analyses authoritarian leader-member relationship from three fields that are team communication and atmosphere of perceived consistency, team conflict and colleague relationship, team performance. Based on the individual level variable, it analyses authoritarian leader-member relationship from three fields that are individual behavior, individual attitude including subjective well-being, and individual job satisfaction. Through the above analysis, the authors expect that they can further promote the research on authoritarian leader-member relationship.
