We usually used the foreign theories to research the leadership in the Chinese organizations in the past, but got unsuitable results. To avoid this situation, some researchers used「emic approach」to research the leadership in the Chinese organizations. The most common theory is 「paternalistic leadership」, but there are still some problems in this theory. First, although it is tested by dyadic analysis, there is no view of followers. Second, benevolence leadership and moral leadership have high correlation. Third, the concept of authoritarianism leadership is questioned. For those reasons, we use paternalistic leadership to be the independent valuables, the perception which followers regard their superiors, and the「guan xi」to be the contingences. Then we execute the hierarchical regression analysis and the cluster analysis to answer those questions. The results of the study show: ( 1) High authoritarianism leadership, high moral leadership, high benevolence leadership, and high majestic perception, which followers regard their superiors consciousness are classified the same class with followers.（2）High authoritarianism leadership, low moral leadership, low benevolence leadership, and high despotically perception, which followers regard their superiors consciousness are classified the same class with followers.（3）Moral leadership and benevolence leadership have different influence ways in majestic perception, which followers regard their superiors consciousness under the high guan xi situation.（4）Moral leadership and benevolence leadership have the same influence way in majestic perception, which followers regard their superiors consciousness under the low guan xi situation. According to the above results of the study, the researcher proposes two suggestions: ( 1) In follow-up study, we could further research the relation between the contingences and the process of the perception, which followers regard their superiors consciousness in the behavior of leadership, and analyze the relation between the contingences and the process of the perception, which followers regard their superiors consciousness and performance, in order to set up an intact Chinese leadership theory. (2) In the practice, while the superiors require the performance, they should pay attention to the thought of their followers, and train their own moral integrity.
