Numerous empirical studies have examined predictors of emotional exhaustion. In
this vein, both positive and negative leadership styles have been associated with
this outcome. Yet, little is known about the role of Machiavellian leadership in
fostering employees' emotional exhaustion. As such, we investigated the
relationship between Machiavellian leadership and emotional exhaustion. Even

encompassing organizational cynicism as a mediator. Results showed that

cynicism, on employees' emotional exhaustion.
