Abstract

This study investigates how exploitative leadership(EL) exacerbates employee work procrastination(WP) through the chain mediation of emotional exhaustion(EE) and job satisfaction(JS), while examining psychological resilience(PR) as a critical moderator. Grounded in affective events theory and conservation of resources theory, this study collected data from 450 employees of Chinese companies. Structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) revealed that EL significantly increases WP (β = 0.340, p < 0.001), with EE (β = 0.306) and JS (β = -0.188) serving as partial mediators (VAF = 63.3% and 30.5%, respectively). Furthermore, PR attenuates EL’s adverse effects, weakening its association with EE (β = -0.302) and buffering JS decline (β = 0.161). Fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) identified three causal configurations, with the EL × EE pathway showing the highest explanatory power (raw coverage = 0.756). These findings advance understanding of the dynamic interplay between destructive leadership and procrastination, emphasizing the role of emotional and cognitive depletion. Practically, the study advocates for institutional transparency and resilience-building interventions to mitigate EL’s covert harm. By integrating symmetric and asymmetric methodologies, this research bridges theoretical gaps and offers a nuanced framework for fostering healthier workplaces.
