Impact of Toxic Leadership on Employee Performance

Abstract

This research intends to shed additional light on the effects of toxic leadership on employee satisfaction, motivation, and performance. Such a study on toxic leadership is required since, to date, no research in Indonesia have sought to quantify the consequences of toxic leadership on organizational leaders. Using surveys and structural equation modeling, a quantitative strategy was adopted (SEM). The research sample amounted to 400 taken from 8 locations in Indonesia. Using Google Forms, questionnaires were distributed to 400 employees and analyzed using the Lisrel 8.5 program. The results show that toxic leadership has an effect on job satisfaction (p > 0.00), toxic leadership has an effect on work motivation (p > 0.00), toxic leadership has no effect on employee performance (p < 0.00), job satisfaction has an effect on work motivation (p > 0.00), job satisfaction has effect on employee performance (p > 0.00) work motivation has no effect on employee performance (p < 0.00). The consequences of the study findings for organizations range from the process of screening and selection of leaders to creating stress management and self-resilience training to help employees deal with their emotions in healthy ways and strengthen their defenses.

A Systematic Literature Review of Organizational Resilience In Indonesia

Thus, in transformational leadership, leaders can influence their employees with idealism, inspiration, intellectual stimulation, and individual consideration (Firmansyah et al, 2022).…”

The methodology of the Agile Nudge University

“…Delineating time and space for a psychologically safe team culture prioritizes collaboration to increase the accuracy of information exchange between members, where all members are communicative of failure and comfortable giving or receiving honest feedback (27). Not prioritizing psychological safety can erode trust, negatively impacting interpersonal communication, team performance, and care delivery (74)(75)(76)(77)(78)(79). Embedding "sensors" requires investing time and space to build appropriate timely, actionable, and nonjudgmental feedback loops in a teambased setting as well as listening for outside rumors and gossip (27,(68)(69)(70)(71).…”
