Talent is the first resource to promote development. The unique thinking mode and behavioral characteristics of post-1995 employees inject fresh vitality into enterprises, while the high turnover rate also brings new challenges to the flow of talents for enterprises. Using 247 post-1995 employees as research objects, the influence of authoritarian leadership on employees' turnover intention and its mechanism are empirically explored. The results show that: Authoritarian leadership not only has a direct positive predictive effect on employee turnover intention, but also has an indirect impact on employee turnover intention through three paths: independent mediating effect of emotional exhaustion, independent mediating effect of organizational commitment, and chain mediating effect of emotional exhaustion and organizational commitment.
