The Double Shadow of Exploitative Leadership: The Lost Path of Affective Commitment and Organization-Based Self-Esteem

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study surveyed 355 employees from domestic enterprises to construct a dual-mediation model, exploring the impact of exploitative leadership on employee work well-being from self-verification theory and social exchange theory perspectives. Results indicate that exploitative leadership negatively affects employee work well-being, with affective commitment and organization-based self-esteem serving as mediators. This research enriches studies on exploitative leadership and work well-being, expands the application scope of relevant theories, and provides managerial insights for enhancing employee well-being and organizational performance.
