Leadership behavior is a theory that leaders what and how to improve leading performance. The core of leadership behavior is the efficient factors that influence the leadership behavior and how to increase them. Since .1940s', the organizational behavior and applied psychology have always focused on the leadership behavior. Generally, leadership behavior has high seek and value, especially the leadership behavior of middle leader groups regarded as the important strength in the enterprise, their actions associate closely with enterprises' efficiency and development.There are internal and external factors influencing leadership behaviors. Researches on internal factors concentrate on general personality traits such as individual characteristics, ability, experience and motivation etc , few on social cognitive factors, such as individual achievement goal orientation and self-efficiency, which actually decide human behavior. Relationship between work epidemic factors and leadership behaviors were mainly investigated in organizational behaviorism, almost no in psychology.The present research is to explore the internal and external factors of influencing middle leadership behaviors by their personality, achievement goal orientation, self-efficiency and occupational stress in the view of psychology, to give the theoretical proof to select, organize and train middle leaders.Based on the previous aim and meaning, this research used PM leadership behavior questionaire, MBTI-G personality types scale, enterprise achievement goal orientation scale, general self-efficiency scale, occupational stress questionaire and occupational stress factors questionaire to investigate 219 middle leaders of 203 high ways' enterprises under construction. Four conclusions as following:l.P behavior and M behavior of middle leaders in high-way engineering enterprise are significantly better than that of the normal of China and Japan. PM leadership behaviors in engineering and contract have significant difference.2.Middle leaders in high-way engineering enterprise had good E, S, T and J personality traits in MBTI. Especially the personality of ESTJ and ISTJ was obvious, which occupied 73.3% of all the objects.3.There are significant differences among mental, physical and emotional stress in occupational stress questionnaire. So are the five occupational stress factors: time stress, work fighting, work pressure, work range and inferior relation, and the significant differences of them can be seen in work ages.4.The PM behavior of middle leaders correlated significantly with personality, achievement goal orientation, general self-efficiency, occupational stress and occupational stress factors. There are significant difference among personality types, achievement goal orientation, general self-efficiency, and occupational stress of the four PM leader types.5.Middle leaders' personality, achievement goal orientation, general self-efficiency, occupational stress and occupational stress factors predicted four leadership behaviors, but they have significant differences. Each factor affected the total goals of PM leadership behavior compHeatedly. Learning goal orientation, social goal orientation, self-efficiency, mental stress and emotional stress influence the leadership behavior directly, and occupational stress factors influence the leadership behavior indirectly by individual stress, but achievement goal orientation and general self-efficiency increased or reduced the relationship between stress factors and stress.
