Abstract
This study investigates the effect of narcissistic leadership on employees’ counterproductive work behavior
under the lens of social exchange theory. The mediating role of psychological contract breach and
moderating effect of psychological capital is also analyzed in said causal relationship. Using convenience
sampling technique, data was collected from 302 middle tier employees working across banking sector of
Pakistan. Data was analyzed through statistical techniques in SPSS. The results disclosed that narcissistic
leader (NL) behavior significantly affects psychological contract breach (PCB) and counterproductive
work behavior (CWB) of employees. PCB positively effects CWB and partially mediates between NL and
CWB. Contrary to expectation the moderation role of psychological capital (PsyCap) between NL and
CWB is not established. Thus, implications are provided for targeted sector and discussion is elaborated
for similar sectors as well.
