The development of the western leadership theories is currently toward ¡§Transformational Leadership.¡¨ However, owing to the culture differences, the results testified in the theory of ¡§Transformational Leadership¡¨ are not completely suitable for Chinese society. Thus, domestic scholars develop the theory of ¡§Paternalistic Leadership¡¨ according to tradition of Chinese culture and family system.
In addition, the coordinate culture of military units focuses on rank submission, guide, and help. Although the difference of authority between commanders and subordinates is large, the leaders still have to need the nurture of ¡§Convincing People by Good¡¨ which is exactly the ideal of ¡§Paternalistic Leadership¡¨; however, the formations of the earth village concepts and diversified thoughts of the e-age have forced military leaders to face the issue how to adapt themselves to improve leadership efficiency. Therefore, related research is required.
The method of two standardized phases is applied to this research. For the first phase, the use of individual interview is for qualitative analysis, and then that of questionnaires is for quantitative analysis. Conclusions of this research show as follows:
1. ¡§Paternalistic Leadership¡¨ style is more appropriate for military units. ¡§Authoritarian Leadership¡¨ only has negative influence.
2. The core of ¡§Paternalistic Leadership¡¨ is ¡§Lead People by Good.¡¨ Meanwhile, ¡§Unselfish Model¡¨ is the key to ¡§Lead People by Good.¡¨
3. As the diverse perspectives between leaders and subordinates, they have different feeling for ¡§Alternating Weakness with Severity.¡¨
4. The situation of depreciating subordinates¡¦ contribution by leaders of military units is not found.
Finally, the following suggestions have been made to effectively enhance leadership efficiency of military members:
1. Just, equitable, and open conduct.
2. The attitude of real consideration and respect.
3. Effective communication and identification acquisition.
4. Lifetime learning and thorough self-examination.
