Abstract: Analyze the dual mechanism of transactional leadership on the avoidance of responsibility behavior of civil servants. Through the framework of incentive mechanisms and risk control theory, research has found that transactional leadership has an impact on the sense of responsibility of civil servants through rewards and punishments. The goal guidance function in the reward mechanism can effectively reduce the tendency of civil servants to shirk responsibility, enhance their sense of responsibility and motivation to complete tasks. Strict accountability in the punishment mechanism may encourage civil servants to avoid high-risk tasks and adopt measures of responsibility transfer or dispersion. Through questionnaire surveys and in-depth interviews, statistical description, regression analysis, and structural equation modeling (SEM) methods were used to confirm the moderating effect of organizational loyalty and work stress on the relationship between transactional leadership and avoidance of responsibility behavior.
