Empowering leadership behavior (ELB) encompasses a range of conducts thatleader in the organization authorize employees, which not only can arouse internal taskmotivation of stuffs but can help organization achieve aims and improvement of efficiency.A lot of researches indicate that PE as mediator has an important effect on relation betweenleader’s behaviors and stuff’s performance; but whether the same mechanism of action, PEas mediator, is applied to inflect how ELB influences AP? Previous researches about threevariables focused on individual-level but not enterprise-level. Based on shared perceptionto ELB and EP that stuffs have in company, if ELB and EP of enterprise-level as onecharacter of enterprise will affect individual performance？And what the mechanism ofactions is? This testified study used questionnaire method respectively to analyze towkinds of effect, in which one is about ELB, EP and AP as well as correlation atindividual-level, the other one is on the correlation in ELB at cluster-level and EP at cluster-level along with AP at individual-level. Samples are from enterprises whose ownershipsystem is different in4cities of China. The results are showed as follows.1. There was significant difference on ELB, PE and AP of employees.2. AP was predicted significantly by ELB of employees.3. PE mediated the relation partially between ELB and PE of employees.4. The four dimensions of PE were the four paralleled mediator on ELB and AP.5. ELB at cluster-level predicted AP at individual-level significantly.6. EP at cluster-level as cross-level mediation-upper mediator fully mediated therelation between ELB at cluster-level and AP at individual-level.7. ELB at cluster-level and EP at cluster-level as cross-level moderated the relationbetween EP and AP at individual-level.
