Utilizing the conservation of resources theory, this study investigates serial mediation of facades of conformity and depression between exploitative leadership and absenteeism. A total of 211 education sector employees using the convenient sampling technique took part in the survey with data collected in a time-lagged research design. Findings of the study reveal that facades of conformity and depression mediate the independent paths and play a serial mediating role between EL and absenteeism path. This study suggests that EL works as a workplace stressor, under which employees try to protect their valuable resources from further loss in the form of facades of conformity, in doing so, it leads to depression; thus, employees ultimately use absenteeism as an active coping strategy to cope with workplace stressors.
本研究运用资源守恒理论，探讨了剥削型领导与旷工之间顺从表象和抑郁的序列中介作用。采用便利抽样技术，对211名教育部门员工进行了调查，并采用时滞研究设计收集数据。研究结果表明，顺从表象和抑郁在独立路径中起中介作用，并在剥削型领导与旷工路径之间起序列中介作用。本研究表明，剥削型领导是一种工作场所压力源，在这种压力源下，员工试图通过顺从表象来保护自己的宝贵资源，以免进一步损失，这样做会导致抑郁；因此，员工最终将旷工作为应对工作场所压力源的一种积极应对策略。
