At present, most researches on leadership emergence focus on the personal characteristics of leaders, ignoring the influence of environment and culture on leadership emergence in organizations. Authoritarian Leadership, as a common way of leadership in Chinese enterprises, has made some achievements in the implementation process, but also exposed some shortcomings. It is of practical significance to explore the emergence mechanism of authoritarian leadership. In this study, paired data of 29 project teams of an excellent large cultural enterprise in east China were taken as samples. Through hierarchical regression analysis, the influence mechanism of organizational trust on the emergence of Authoritarian Leadership was discussed from the organizational level. It is found that identity trust can inhibit the emergence of Authoritarian Leadership, while threat to trust can promote the emergence of Authoritarian Leadership. Organizational psychological distance plays an intermediary role between organizational trust and Authoritarian Leadership. The influence of organizational trust on organizational psychological distance is regulated by organizational power distance: when the organizational power distance is high, the enhancing effect of threat trust on organizational psychological distance will be enhanced, while the decreasing effect of identity trust on organizational psychological distance will be weakened.
