  ABSTRACT: In the field of management, “paradox” is “long interdependent and contradictory elements”, paradoxical leadership is a leadership style in which managers adopt contradictory but interconnected behaviors to satisfy the needs of organizational structure and the needs of employees’ work. This new style of leadership breaks the traditional management perspective of “choosing one of the two”, focuses on “both”, seeks unity in contradiction, and plays a synergistic effect of contradiction, which is more useful for resolving various frictions and differences in the organization. Through combing the literature, this paper introduces in detail the origin, concept, and measurement of paradoxical leadership, compiles the research framework of antecedent and outcome variables of paradoxical leadership, puts forward the future research direction of paradoxical leadership based on the existing research, suggests suggestions for the further improvement of paradoxical leadership related research, and provides the direction of the future focus of paradoxical leadership research.
