Abstract
Drawing on the conservation of resources theory, this study empirically investigates the relationship between destructive leadership behavior and employee’s job performance in the presence of psychological disidentification as a mediator and psychological capital as a moderator. Using the structural equation modeling technique on a three-wave time-lag primary data (N=307) collected from employees of service sector organizations of Pakistan, our results reveal that destructive leadership behavior reduces employee’s job performance through the underlying mechanism of psychological disidentification. Using psychological capital as a moderator, our conditional analysis shows that the relationship between destructive leadership behavior and psychological disidentification becomes weaker in the presence of high psychological capital. Overall, our study extends the literature on the relationship between destructive leadership behavior and psychological disidentification and provides insightful theoretical contributions. This study advances the conservation of resources theory by providing support; and practical implications for inhibiting destructive leadership behavior.
