ABSTRACT: This paper examines the
impact of destructive leadership behaviours experienced by subordinate
employees. Structured questionnaires based on the petty Tyranny in
organizations scale to explore the scope and nature of destructive leadership were used. The study further explores the
relationship among leadership experiences, various measures of subordinates’
satisfaction and turnover level. The results showed that despite the central
role of leadership holds for many firms in Hanoi, Vietnam, subordinate
employees reported experiencing toxic destructive leadership. There was a significant
negative relationship among destructive leadership, all measures of satisfaction and
turnover level. Surprisingly, there was not a significant negative impact on
turnover level (inclination to remain in the employment) among the subordinate population.
