widely in the Chinese cultural background is a kind of leadership style of “temper justice with mercy,and morality”.It pays attention to the authority of the leader and the subordinate's obedience.It is a kind of“strict father-style” leadership style,and the transformational leadership who represents the Western leadership style pays more attention to the influence of the leaders on the charisma and personality of the subordinates,and advocates a more democratic and equal relationship.The cultural background attribute and the leadership management style under different cultural backgrounds may have great differences.The influence of the two leadership styles with their own Eastern and Western cultural characteristics on employees' work attitude may be quite different.To understand the relationship between the East and West leadership styles and employees' work attitudes,and to respond to relevant disputes.Using meta-analytic research methods,the relationship between the two leadership styles and the three important indicators of employee attitudes(job satisfaction,job commitment,organizational commitment)was discussed.In the choice of Moderator variables,factors such as
