Abstract

An empirical study was carried out to analyze the relationships among Chinese Leadership and Corporate Cultures (independent variables), Perceived Organizational Support (a mediating variable), and Job Satisfaction (a dependent variable) through Hierarchical Regression Analysis and Path Analysis. The results of statistical analysis show as follows: First, benevolent leadership and authoritative leadership were found to influence a positive and significant impact on job satisfaction. Second, individualized consideration as a kind of Western leadership styles was positively and significantly related to job satisfaction. Third, development culture and rational culture were found to influence a positive and significant impact on job satisfaction. Fourth, benevolent leadership and virtuous leadership were found to influence a positive and significant effect on perceived organizational support. Fifth, individualized consideration and performance emphasizing were positively and significantly related to perceived organizational support. Sixth, development culture as a type of corporate culture was positively and significantly related to perceived organizational support at the 0.01 level of p-value. Seventh, this study explored the effects of a mediating variable on a dependent variable. Perceived organizational support as a mediating variable was found to influence a positive and significant impact on job satisfaction. Eighth, perceived organizational support as a mediating valuable was found to affect the relationship between independent variables (paternalistic leadership, western leadership and corporate culture) and a dependent variable (job satisfaction). Recently, since managers, who were born in the 1980s and 1990s, began to work in Chinese firms, how these organizational members perceived organizational support as well as how they made organizational members be perceived it became critical. In this respect, our study is critical in the theoretical and practical side.
