“…This paper considers a leadership-employee relationship that examines the three-way interactions of belief reciprocity and fear of negative evaluation in influencing employees' psychological distress when facing abusive supervision. Reciprocity belief represents the implicit or explicit norms of expectation of returns in a social exchange process (De Bruin and Finkelstein, 2023). The SET theory was earlier employed to help understand social exchangerelated issues at the individual, team, group, robot-human interaction (Leo-Liu, 2023) and tourism destination levels (Wang et al, 2023).…”

“…There is plenty of evidence of exploitative reciprocity (Koay et al, 2022). People often react and behave in response to their reciprocity beliefs (De Bruin and Finkelstein, 2023), which hold that their exchange efforts will be rewarded in the future (Kim et al, 2023). Reciprocity belief refers to the perception of rewarding kind actions and punishing unkind ones (Matejkowski et al, 2011).…”

“…Accordingly, this paper focused on fear of negative evaluation as a key contributor to psychological distress and studied it as a potential moderator. Bridging this gap will be helpful for supervisors and employees at the same time in hotel settings (Ampofo et al, 2023), since introducing reciprocity belief as a potential moderator will be helpful (De Bruin and Finkelstein, 2023) as it is an initial attempt to explore the three-way interaction to understand the complex phenomenon of abusive supervision (Jin, 2023).…”

“…Since individuals approach social exchanges with varying expectations and belief systems (De Bruin and Finkelstein, 2023), the outcomes of these exchanges may not always manifest as a straightforward exchange of favors or benefits (Jin, 2023). Fear of negative evaluation explains the returns to exchange within the realm of abusive leadership-psychological distress linkage (Selem et al, 2023).…”

PurposeThis paper examines the moderated-moderation model of reciprocity belief and fear of negative evaluation between supervisors' abusive reactions and subordinates' distress.Design/methodology/approachThe authors obtained 412 valid responses from Egyptian hotel employees and analyzed them using PROCESS model 3.FindingsThe three-way interaction findings proved that when employees have high reciprocity beliefs and low fear of negative evaluations, the abusive supervision-psychological distress relationship is dampened.Practical implicationsOrganizations have the opportunity to implement human resource development (HRD) strategies focused on cultivating reduced apprehension toward negative evaluation and fostering a robust sense of positive reciprocity. To achieve this, HRD and HRM initiatives can encompass elements such as bolstering organizational and coworker support, promoting cultural assimilation and redefining work practices.Originality/valueThis paper adopts a comprehensive approach that recognizes the intricate interrelationships within the workplace by identifying subtle dynamics of abusive supervision and its impacts. It also explores the complex nature of such relationships rather than taking a purely causal perspective.

“…However, despite the growing number of research about the WB phenomenon (Nielsen and Einarsen, 2018; Fernández-del-Río et al , 2021; Navas et al , 2021; De Bruin and Finkelstein, 2023), no studies have shed light on what drives the impact of DT on WB and how to mitigate it. Addressing this glaring gap can help better understand and countervail WB and its dreadful effects on employees and whole organizations.…”

Purpose How do dark personality traits impact workplace bullying (WB)? How can organizations mitigate it? This study aims to explore the relationship between the Dark Tetrad (DT) (narcissism, psychopathy [PY], Machiavellianism and sadism [SM]) and WB, proposing the mediation role of moral disengagement (MD) and the moderation role of emotional stability (ES). Design/methodology/approach The proposed mediated-moderation model was tested on 404 employees working in the hospitality sector in Pakistan. Data have been analyzed through regression analysis and PROCESS macros to test the study’s hypotheses. Findings PY, Machiavellianism and SM positively relate to WB and MD mediates this relationship. A high level of ES reduces the intensity of the mediated influence of PY, Machiavellianism and SM on WB. Practical implications Developing targeted policies and practices (e.g. personality tests to build a good psychological architecture of the firm) and reviewing processes that support the moral justification of antisocial conduct can be beneficial for limiting WB. In addition, meditation, mindfulness training and supporting trust and cooperation within organizations can increase the mitigating effect of ES and, in turn, reduce WB. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study that explicitly verifies a mediated-moderation model on DT-WB while proposing a further explanation (i.e. mediation of MD) and a novel solution (i.e., moderation by ES).

The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UN’s SDG) are a set of actionable frameworks, which can be achieved through collaboration among nations, emphasizing the significant role of leadership. Recent geopolitical trends have spotlighted leaders with pronounced sociopathic narcissistic characteristics, opposing any collaborative approach to achieving the UN’s SDGs. This study used a mix method (a scoping review and action research), to critically investigate the impact of leadership, narcissistic leadership in particular, on achieving the UN’s SDGs. The results showed that publications discussing the impacts of narcissism on achieving interconnected SDGs are scarce. The systemic negative factors enabling narcissistic leaders to rise above and keep power, and potential strategies to inhibit such leadership styles were critically discussed. The loss of the Sustainable Development Goals remains the best indicator of the global negative impact of narcissistic leadership and its influence on global health systems. It is not country-specific and is the only legitimate global measure available. Preventing the rise of such leadership, particularly in low- and middle-income countries may avert wars, conflicts, and their deadly outcomes from national and global perspectives. Novel global policies are urgently needed to safeguard global peace, health, and security.
