This study investigates how exploitative leadership(EL) exacerbates employee work procrastination(WP) through the chain mediation of emotional exhaustion(EE) and job satisfaction(JS), while examining psychological resilience(PR) as a critical moderator. Grounded in affective events theory conservation resources theory, this collected data from 450 employees Chinese companies. Structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) revealed that EL significantly increases WP (β = 0.340, p < 0.001), with EE 0.306) JS -0.188) serving partial mediators (VAF 63.3% 30.5%, respectively). Furthermore, PR attenuates EL’s adverse effects, weakening its association -0.302) buffering decline 0.161). Fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) identified three causal configurations, × pathway showing highest explanatory power (raw coverage 0.756). These findings advance understanding dynamic interplay between destructive leadership procrastination, emphasizing role cognitive depletion. Practically, advocates for institutional transparency resilience-building interventions to mitigate covert harm. By integrating symmetric asymmetric methodologies, research bridges theoretical gaps offers nuanced framework fostering healthier workplaces.
