  bureaucratic culture on the reduction of protein talent of R&D staff in state-owned pharmaceutical companies. Conclusion: The results of the analysis of the research data show that authoritarian leaders consider employees as inherently lazy and responsible as the X-McGregor theory and try to bring about bureaucratic culture in their organization under their strict control. . In such an environment, no diversification of work and promotion of excessive skill and knowledge are required, and any effort beyond the established standards will result in severe penalties. Therefore, the process of nurturing protein talent in such an organization is definitely going downhill, and even if one sets his or her career path apart from organizational goals, he or she will face severe penalties or be forced out of the organization.
