The Effects of Favored Status and Identification with Victim on Perceptions
of and Reactions to Leader Toxicity
hELEnA III (InterContinental Praha) / Session Type: PAPEr PrEsEnTATIOns / Accepted by MIG(s): sChOLArshIP
this dissertation examined the roles of leader member exchange (lMx) relationships and social identity on perceptions of
leader toxicity and intentions to challenge a leader who exhibits toxic behavior. participants (n = 298) were assigned to a
favored or lMx out-group observer condition. lMx status influenced perceptions and intentions to challenge. lMx out-group
participants perceived the leader as toxic more so than participants with favored status and were more likely to challenge the
leader. participants perceived the leader to be toxic to a greater extent when they identified with the victim. target salience
was not a significant factor in observers’ willingness to challenge. organizational implications are discussed.
