This study investigated the relationship between authoritarian leadership and employees' deviant workplace behaviors (DWB), as well as the mediating effects of psychological contract violation and organizational cynicism. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 391 manufacturing workers in a northern city of China. Structural equation modeling was performed to test the theory-driven models. The results showed that the relationship between authoritarian leadership and employees' DWB was mediated by organizational cynicism. Moreover, this relationship was also sequentially mediated by psychological contract violation and organizational cynicism. This research unveiled psychological contract violation and organizational cynicism as underlying mechanism that explained the link between authoritarian leadership and employees' DWB.
本研究调查了专制领导与员工工作场所越轨行为（DWB）之间的关系，以及心理契约违背和组织犬儒主义的中介作用。在中国北方一个城市对391名制造业工人进行了横断面调查。采用结构方程模型对理论驱动模型进行检验。结果表明，专制领导与员工工作场所越轨行为之间的关系由组织犬儒主义介导。此外，这种关系还依次由心理契约违背和组织犬儒主义介导。本研究揭示了心理契约违背和组织犬儒主义是解释专制领导与员工工作场所越轨行为之间联系的潜在机制。
