“…Unlike the other forms of destructive and dysfunctional leadership, toxic leadership appears to be more inclusive in terms of the type of behaviours and its destructive effects (MacLennan, 2017;Mehta and Maheshwari, 2013;Singh et al, 2017;Yi Chua et al, 2015). Mehta and Maheshwari (2013) found that the construct included abusiveness, promoting inequity, and lack of integrity.…”

PurposeLeadership has been known for its tremendous impact on employees' outcomes in any organisation. Constructive leadership positively impacts employees, while destructive leadership causes counterproductive work behaviours (CWB). This study aims to investigate the effect of toxic leadership on employees' CWB via the role of turnover intention by employing the psychological contract theory.Design/methodology/approachThe participants were recruited using various recruitment methods such as online recruitment and alumni networks. After dropping some participants who failed to complete the three-wave data collection procedure, 457 responses were used for the final data analysis. The participants came from various public organisations in Indonesia (e.g. hospitals).FindingsThe results found that the effect of toxic leadership on employees' CWB was mediated by the role of turnover intention. Under a toxic leader, employees might intend to leave the organisations and commit CWB as the employees perceived the psychological contract breach.Practical implicationsFirstly, public organisations should implement some strategies to reduce the emergence of toxic behaviours. Secondly, public organisations should evaluate and examine how leadership is exercised within public organisations. Lastly, the organisations must ensure that their leaders do not breach employees' psychological contracts.Originality/valueThis study has highlighted the effect of toxic leadership on CWB in public service organisations by employing a psychological contract theory and a power distance perspective.

“…Dobbs and Do (2019) argue that the different terms used by different researchers often describe the same phenomenon: personal influences and unwarranted hostility by those in positions of power to their subordinates that negatively affect subordinates and harm the general good of the organization. However, other researchers (Dogan & Baloglu, 2019;MacLennan, 2017;Singh et al, 2017) perceive the term "toxic leadership " as more comprehensive in terms of the type of behaviors and their destructive effects unlike other terms for destructive and dysfunctional leadership.…”

The current research determined the effect of toxic leadership on counter-productive work behaviors and the intention to leave work among a randomly selected sample of 357 employees of the Egyptian Pharmaceutical Trading Company using correlation analysis and regression analyses. There was a direct and significant effect of toxic leadership on each of the 5 dimensions of counter-productive work behaviors (abuse, production deviance, sabotage, theft, withdrawal), and the intention to leave work. Based on these results, employers should select leaders based on criteria that incorporate the psychological and humanitarian aspects of dealing with subordinates, furnish leaders with the relevant training and continuously track leaders’ behavior to ensure that stay clear of any toxic practices.
