碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 人力資源管理研究所 === 106 === The objective of this research is to explore the relationship between paternalistic leadership and subordinate responses. In particular, the research seeks to find out when under the simultaneous demonstration of authority and benevolence in a leadership style, whether paternalistic relationship becomes a mediating mechanism that would affect subordinate responses. This research was conducted among 168 employees from various industries in Taiwan and China. The purpose of the study are as follows: (1) When the levels of benevolence and authority being demonstrated are equal, the paternalistic relationship is better identified when both of these levels are high as opposed to when both of these levels are lower.(2) The effect is better when the levels of benevolence and authority are demonstrated equally compared to when the levels of benevolence and authority are not demonstrated equally. (3) When the levels of benevolence and authority demonstrated are not equal, having a higher level of benevolence will result in more paternalistic relationship being identified. (4) Through polynominal regression and response surface methodology, the three dimensional map shows that when the levels of benevolence and authority being demonstrated are equal, under the circumstance that the levels being demonstrated are medium or above, good paternalistic relationship will be identified. Furthermore, it is not necessary that high and equal levels of benevolence and authority need to be achieved in order to have apparent paternalistic relationship being identified.
