Abstract

Exploitative leadership hinders the employees’ creativity and causes them to exhibit negligence behavior. However, this negative side of leadership is still under explored in the context of employee negligence behavior in higher education institutes, especially in underdeveloped backgrounds. Following COR theory, this study aimed to investigate Exploitative leadership and employee Negligence behavior through the mediating relationship of Job frustration in AJK higher education institutions. The data was collected on convenience sampling of 255 faculty members of AJK universities, and the results suggest a positive relationship between exploitative leadership and employee negligence. The finding about job frustration also uncovers the black box of the mediating impact of it between exploitative leadership and employee negligence. Both hypotheses are accepted at 0.00 p<0.5.
