This paper examines the effects of two-way congruences and incongruences between three components of paternalistic leadership, namely, benevolence, morality, and authoritarianism, on overall subordinate justice perceptions. We hypothesize that these dyad in-/congruences would differentially predict subordinate overall justice perceptions, with perceptions of renqing as a mediator. With data collected from two-wave surveys in the People’s Republic of China, the results indicate that dyad congruences and incongruences between benevolence, morality, and authoritarianism have significant impacts on subordinate perceptions of renqing and, ultimately, their overall justice perception. Our findings underscore that to fully understand the influencing processes of paternalistic leadership on subordinate outcomes, it is important to take into account the context and the different combinations of its three dimensions.

本文研究了家长式领导力的三个组成部分（即仁慈，道德和专制）之间的双向一致和不一致对整体从属正义观念的影响。我们假设，这些二元性/一致性会以人情作为调解者的差异来预测从属的整体正义感。从中华人民共和国的两次调查中收集的数据表明，仁慈，道德和威权主义之间的二元对等和不一致对人情的下属观念有重大影响最后是他们对司法的整体看法。我们的发现强调，要完全理解家长式领导对从属结果的影响过程，重要的是要考虑其三个维度的背景及其不同组合。
