Under the background of information globalization, the living environment of enterprises is becoming more and more complex and changeable. In order to stand out in the fierce competition, organizations cannot do without the hard work and active input of employees. On the basis of social cognitive theory, this paper introduces psychological empowerment perception as a potential intervening and moderating variable to construct a theoretical model, and explores the mechanism of humble leadership on employee engagement in Liaoning construction industry under the background of Chinese organizational culture, so as to provide theoretical and practical support for a more comprehensive explanation of the influence of humble leadership on employee job outcome variables. Humble leadership has a significant positive impact on employee engagement in Liaoning construction industry, and psychological empowerment plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between humble leadership and employee engagement. The leadership style and behavior should be effectively matched with employees' work behavior, so as to further develop the effectiveness of leadership and keep employees in a highly engaged state at work.
