Abstract

The aim of the current study is to investigate the impact of despotic leadership on emotional exhaustion with the mediating role of rumination and the moderating role of organizational justice. In this study data were collected from sales force of the banking industry through questionnaire, while 284 useful responses were analyzed. Findings of the study reveal that despotic leadership has positive effect on emotional exhaustion, while rumination partially mediates this relationship. Furthermore, the organizational justice reduces the impact of despotic leadership on rumination. This study is novel in examining the mediating role of rumination between despotic leadership and emotional exhaustion. Further, the study also investigates the moderating role of organizational justice between despotic leadership and rumination, while there is dearth of academic literature on the said associations. Conservation of resources theory support the study findings.
