Abstract

This study aimed to measure the effect of destructive leadership and its dimensions on both job oppression and job fear and their dimensions among employees in category (A) tourism companies and five-star hotels in Cairo. The study also aimed to explore the mediating role of job oppression in the relationship between destructive leadership and its four dimensions (corruption, burdening subordinates, mistreatment of subordinates, and loss of professional ethics) and job fear. 1064 questionnaires were distributed to a random sample of employees in category (A) tourism companies and five-star hotels in Cairo, while the analysis was based on 876 valid questionnaires. The results showed that there is a significant and positive effect of destructive leadership and its four dimensions on job oppression and job fear and their dimensions. The results also highlighted the significant and positive effect of job oppression on job fear and its three dimensions. As well, the results revealed that job oppression plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between destructive leadership and job fear, while there was no mediating role for job oppression in the relationship between each of the two dimensions of corruption, burdening subordinates, and job fear. The results indicated that job oppression plays a full mediating role in the relationship between mistreatment of subordinates and job fear. Finally, the results concluded that job oppression plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between the dimension of loss of professional ethics and job fear.
