Abstract
Machiavellianism came from the writings of Niccolo Machiavelli in the 16th century. It is usually used to describe manipulative and devious individuals. Since 1970s, research about Machiavellianism had bloomed but most of the research till now had only focused on the Machiavellian actors themselves and not their effects on others. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate the direct relationship of Machiavellian leaders and their effects on the work outcomes, the affective organizational commitment and job performance, of their subordinates. Furthermore, this study proposed that subordinate perception of leader behavioral integrity would mediate the relationship. Corporate ethical values were proposed to moderate the relationship of behavioral integrity to the work outcomes of the subordinates. Results supported the notion that there was a direct relationship between leaders personality trait of Machiavellianism and the affective organizational commitment, but not the job performance, of the subordinates. No significant results were found for the mediation and moderation effects for both affective organizational commitments of the subordinates and their job performance.
