We demonstrate that n-dimension closed Einstein manifolds, whose smallest eigenvalue of the curvature operator of the second kind of \mathringR satisfies λ1 ≥ -θ(n) λ, are either flat or round spheres, where λ is the average of the eigenvalues of \mathringR, and θ(n) is defined as in equation (1.2). Our result improves a celebrated result (Theorem 1.1) concerning Einstein manifolds with nonnegative curvature operator of the second kind.
