Abstract

Abstract: In order to explore impact mechanism and boundary conditions of destructive leadership on employees' safety performance so as to improve it, emotional depletion was introduced as an intermediary variable and self-efficacy as a moderator variable. Then, with grassroots employees of 8 manufacturing enterprises in Liaoning province as investigation objects, conditional process analysis method was adopted to study 315 valid questionnaires from them. The results show that destructive leadership is significantly negatively correlated with self-efficacy and safety performance, and so is emotional exhaustion with them. Destructive leadership has a direct negative impact on safety performance, and can also affect it indirectly through emotional exhaustion. Self-efficacy negatively regulates the relationship between destructive leadership and emotional exhaustion, and then further regulates the latter's mediating role between destructive leadership and safety performance. Improving leadership style, controlling emotional exhaustion and enhancing employees' sense of self-efficacy can effectively improve safety performance and reduce accidents.

Key words: destructive leadership, safety performance, emotional exhaustion, self-efficacy, conditional process analysis
