The Effect of Paternalistic Leadership on Affective Commitment and Organizational Citizenship Behavior: Evidence from Chinese Employees = 중국 직원들을 대상으로 한 가부장 리더십이 정서적 조직몰입 및 조직 시민행동에 미치는 영향

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Our study investigates the impact of paternalistic leadership on organizational citizenship behavior in the Chinese context. First, we explore whether the benevolent, moral, and authoritative dimensions of paternalistic leadership positively influence organizational citizenship behavior. Second, we examine the mediating role of affective commitment. Third, we investigate whether power distance orientation and follower's age moderate the paternalistic leadership-affective commitment-organizational citizenship behavior mechanism. The results confirm the positive effects of the three sub-dimensions. We also confirm power distance orientation and follower's age moderate the effect of benevolent and moral aspects of paternalistic leadership. These underscore the importance of a dimensional analysis of paternalistic leadership. Theoretical and practical implications are also suggested.
