Summary/Abstract: The research conducted is grounded on the principles of social exchange (SET), social cognitive theory (SCT), and conservation of resources theories (COR). These theories enabled us to comprehend 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 hypotheses. The results demonstrated evidence that leader psychopathy had a positive direct and indirect effect on employee expediency through organisational cynicism and moral disengagement. We make novel theoretical, empirical, and practical contributions by explaining why leader psychopathy affects employee expediency. This study is one of the first to integrate leader psychopathy, organisational cynicism, moral disengagement, and employee expediency into a single theoretical model.
