Abstract:
According to the social exchange theory, based on the 335 valid questionnaire
data, the article uses the hierarchical regression method to examine the in fluence of authoritarian leadership and charismatic leadership on employee
engagement and the moderating effect of task structure. The results show that
charismatic leadership is significantly positively correlated with employee
engagement, and there is a significant positive correlation between vigor, de dication and absorption. Authoritarian leadership is significantly negatively
correlated with employee engagement, and is significantly negatively corre lated with vigor and dedication. The task structure plays a moderating role
between authoritarian leadership and employee engagement. Studies have
shown that combined with contextual factors can better explain the role of
leadership quality in leadership effectiveness, and also provide guidance and
suggestions for leadership selection and practice, that is, in the context of
high-task structure, organizations should prioritize the selection of individu als with authoritarian orientation as leaders.
