Abstract

The review mainly concludes the impact of three leadership styles, inclusive, transformational and authentic, on employees’ initiative behavior. The comparative method and literature analysis method are the research methods which used. Through the above methods, this study finds that different leadership styles have different degrees of influence on employees’ initiative behavior. Meanwhile, this study also recognizes that management style has a universally favorable orientation effect on employees’ active behavior, whether from its own theoretical framework or leadership level. Also, it finds that most of the effects are influenced by indirect factors rather than direct ones. This study has wide knowledge coverage and a large knowledge span by reading a lot number of domestic and foreign literature. And it is committed to providing more vision and more effective information for subsequent researchers. At the same time, based on the lack of existing authoritative literature on this subject and the narrow research direction, this research wants to attract more people to pay attention to this field and contribute to its development.
