Abstract：This study clarified the relationship between narcissistic leadership and employee performance by conducting a meta-analytic review consisting of 115 studies and 155 effect sizes. The findings indicated a significant positive correlation between narcissistic leadership and counterproductive performance, a significant negative correlation with task performance, and no significant correlation with organizational citizenship performance or innovative performance. Leader-member exchange (LMX) and emotional exhaustion played significant mediating roles in the relationship between narcissistic leadership and employee performance. Specifically, LMX and emotional exhaustion not only independently mediated the relationships between narcissistic leadership and counterproductive performance, organizational citizenship performance, and task performance, but they also formed a chain mediation effect through the "LMX → emotional exhaustion" pathway. Furthermore, in the relationship between narcissistic leadership and innovative performance, LMX and emotional exhaustion exhibited both independent suppressing effects and chain suppressing effects through the "LMX → emotional exhaustion" pathway. The measurement method of narcissistic leadership moderated the relationships between narcissistic leadership and counterproductive performance as well as task performance. When narcissistic leadership was rated by employees, these associations were stronger.
