Abstract：The new generation of employees is increasingly becoming a pivotal force in driving economic growth, technological innovation, and organizational transformation. In the face of environmental changes, young employees at Huawei exhibit a strong sense of mission and responsibility. Utilizing publicly available information from Huawei, this study employs literature analysis and case study methods to explore the formation mechanism of mission valence among enterprise employees under environmental changes. The findings are as follows: (1) Environmental changes directly influence the mission valence of enterprise employees; (2) Organizational empathy mediates the relationship between environmental changes and mission valence, serving as a catalyst in complex and volatile market environments to boost employees\' work enthusiasm and enhance their self-identity and career goals; (3) Confucian culture moderates the relationship between environmental changes and organizational empathy, fostering a sense of collectivism and crisis awareness among employees, which in turn positively impacts their mission valence. This study aims to integrate multi-dimensional factors such as the environment, team, and individual employees into the theoretical framework of mission valence formation. Additionally, it offers practical value by stimulating employees\' sense of mission and enhancing enterprises\' adaptability to environmental changes.
