This study found that transformational leadership, ethical leadership, and participative leadership can predict counterproductive work behaviors through employee engagement. When employees perceive higher levels of these three types of leadership, their employee engagement behaviors show positive growth, leading to negative growth in counterproductive work behaviors.
Counterproductive work behaviors are a crucial issue for practice and academic because it influences employees' job performance and career development. The present research conceptualizes Kahn's employee engagement theory and employs transformational leadership, ethical leadership, and participative leadership as its antecedents to predict counterproductive work behaviors through a latent growth model. The present research collected empirical data of 505 employees of fintech businesses in Great China at three waves over 6 months. The findings revealed that as employees perceived higher transformational leadership, ethical leadership, and participative leadership at the first time point, they may demonstrate more positive growths in employee engagement development behavior, which in turn, caused more negative growths in counterproductive work behaviors. The present research stresses a dynamic model of the three leaderships that can alleviate counterproductive work behaviors through the mediating role of employee engagement over time.
