Abstract
The research conducted is grounded is grounded on the principles of social
exchange (SET), social cognitive theory (SCT), and conservation
of resources theories (COR). These theories enabled us to com-
prehend the indirect correlation between leader psychopathy
and employee expediency. To validate our research, we surveyed
three waves, collecting information from 282 hotel employees in
Indonesia. The PLS-SEM technique was used to test the hypo-
theses. The results demonstrated evidence that leader psycho-
pathy had a positive direct and indirect effect on employee ex-
pediency through organisational cynicism and moral disengage-
ment. We make novel theoretical, empirical, and practical con-
tributions by explaining why leader psychopathy affects em-
ployee expediency. This study is one of the first to integrate
leader psychopathy, organisational cynicism, moral disengage-
ment, and employee expediency into a single theoretical model.
