Utilizing the cognitive appraisal theory of stress and coping, we examined the combined effects of destructive leadership and Dark Triad personality on revenge and employee outcomes (happiness and psychological detachment). Adopting a time‐lagged research design (three time lags), we collected data from 288 employees from the service sector in Pakistan. Using Process technique, our findings showed that revenge mediated the destructive leadership and outcomes relationship. We also found that the impact of destructive leadership on revenge was more substantial for individuals having high Dark Triad personality. The results supported our moderated mediation hypothesis, proving that revenge mediates the relationship between destructive leadership and outcomes for individuals with a high Dark Triad Personality.

A quantitative and cross-sectional research method using a convenient -sampling technique was employed to get responses from employees working in different Job-sectors of Pakistan. Data were collected from 261 employees and then tested by utilizing the Hayes's process approach. The findings of the study indicate that work overload is related with perfectionism while mental toughness does not play any significant role between perfectionism and work overload. By utilizing Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, this study for the first discussed the moderating role of mental toughness.
