Abstract:

Drawing from recent meta-analytic and conceptual reviews of paternalistic leadership literature (e.g., Hiller et al, LQ 2019; Takeuchi et al., AROPOB, 2020) and my own executive teaching experiences at CEIBS, I will discuss the various rationales why and how authoritarian and benevolent leadership interact to influence employee’s job performance as well as organizational performance in Chinese organizations. All are welcome.
