Abstract: In new era, omission still exists in varying degrees of middle-level cadres in universities. After depth analysis of the realistic dilemma of middle-level cadres’ acting boldly and proactively in universities in Jiangxi Province, this paper used the experience of motivation theory and correlational research, explored the inner mechanism of encouragement mechanism on cadres’ acting boldly and proactively from 4 dimensions, that are not willing, not good, not daring and well done or not. It proposed the specific paths of perfecting the encouragement mechanism on cadres’ acting boldly and proactively. These paths include using dynamic mechanism to solve “not willing” problem, using capacity mechanism to solve “not good” problem, using limited liability mechanism to solve “not daring” problem, and using championships mechanism to solve “well done or not” problem,
