Examining the effects of despotic leadership on nurses in the face of emotional exhaustion, organizational silence, and revanchist behaviors
The findings highlight the detrimental effects of despotic leadership on nurses' mental health and professional behavior. Despotic leadership creates a toxic work environment that suppresses nurses' voices, leading to emotional exhaustion and revanchist behaviors. Eliminating despotic leadership practices and promoting open communication are essential to improving nurses' well-being and maintaining a healthy healthcare environment.
