Abstract

This paper studies leadership style and positive organizational behavior in the context of Chinese enterprises. The purpose of the study is to test the impact of leadership style on positive organizational behavior in the context of Chinese enterprises, verify the correlation between leadership style and positive organizational behavior, and provide guidance for enterprise survival, competition and development. By reviewing the relatively mature and complete theoretical systems of leadership style and positive organizational behavior research at home and abroad, the impact of leadership style on positive organizational behavior in the context of Chinese enterprises is hypothesized from the relationship between vision motivation, leadership charisma, intellectual stimulation, and personality care construction and employee positive behavior. 300 employees were randomly selected as the research subjects, and questionnaires compiled in the form of Likert measurement scale were issued to obtain first-hand research data. The research results show that in the Chinese context, the vision motivation, intellectual stimulation and personality care of leaders have a positive impact on the positive organizational behavior of employees. The positive impact of personalized care on the positive organizational behavior of grassroots employees is greater than that of leadership charisma. Leadership style clarifies the beautiful future development vision for subordinates and can fully mobilize the work initiative of employees.
