Through the paired questionnaire survey of 99 leadership samples and 358 employee samples, the conclusion is drawn that the leader’s noninterference orientation approach has a significant positive impact on democratic leadership and employees’ innovation behavior; democratic leadership has an intermediary role between leader’s noninterference orientation and employees’ innovation behavior.
