Abstract
The literature on destructive
leadership is relatively early, and
the research and theory development
addressing destructive
leadership is underdeveloped.
This article is an attempt to develop
a conceptual model for
destructive leadership. By integrating
the trait theory of leadership,
the paper attempts to explain
that personal ideology and
traits of the leader act as an antecedent
to destructive leadership.
The paper further proposes
that the followers’ personality
traits act as a moderator of the
influence of destructive leadership.
In extreme cases, destructive
leadership can invite destructive
followership. Finally, a
theoretical framework is proposed
integrating the destructive
leadership literature followed by
discussion and limitation of the
study.
