Abstract This paper examined whether and how paternalistic leadership influenced employees’ work alienation. Data were collected from 195 participants in a large company located on Pearl River Delta region. The results showed that benevolent leadership negatively influenced employees’ work alienation, moral leadership had no effect on employees’ work alienation, and authoritarianism leadership had a significant positive effect on employees’ work alienation. The negative effect of benevolent leadership on work alienation was fully mediated by perceived organizational support, while the positive effect of authoritarianism leadership on work alienation was partially mediated by perceived organizational support.
