Leadership has always been a basic need in human societies and organizations. The purpose of this study was to identify and analyze the factors that cause poisonous leadership in the Disciplinary Command Center of Mazandaran Province. This research was applied in terms of purpose and in terms of implementation method, it was descriptive-survey and correlational. In the qualitative stage, the statistical population consisted of ten university experts who were selected by purposeful and snowball method. In the quantitative stage, all employees of the police command center of Mazandaran province were 480 people. Simple random sampling method was used. The Delphi method was used to identify the factors and the structural equation method with SmartPLS3 software was used to analyze the relationships of the variables. The results showed that the factors that create poisonous leadership in the police command center of Mazandaran province include 47 components in the form of six dimensions (psychological characteristics of the leader, narcissism, authoritarian leadership, offensive supervision, unpredictable behaviors, ambition). The results of structural equations also showed the psychological characteristics of the leader (0.390), narcissism (0.362), authoritarian leadership (0.401), offensive leadership (0.337), unpredictable behaviors (0.315) and ambition ( 0.418) has a positive and significant effect on the creation of poisonous leadership. Finally, it is suggested that through meritocracy, reforming the incentive and punishment system, and monitoring and removing ambiguity from jobs, efforts be made so that if the management shows a desire for poisonous leadership, it will not have a chance to fulfill its demands.

Leadership has not always shown its nice face; rather, in some cases, it has exhibited the dark part such as the authoritarian leadership and Machiavellian leadership which could negatively affects the organization and its performance. Therefore, the purpose of current study is to explain the mediating role of authoritarian leadership and organizational cynicism in the relationship between Machiavellian leadership and employees’ deviant behavior.

This research is descriptive–correlation study. The statistical population of the study consisted of the employees of one of the governmental organization of Shiraz, a total of 127 subjects were selected by random sampling as a statistical sample. The instruments for data collection were questionnaire. To analyze the collected data, vertical factor analysis and structural equation modeling and smart PLS software were used.

Based on the results of the study, it was found that Machiavellian leadership has a positive and significant relationship with authoritarian leadership, organizational cynicism, and deviant behavior. Results also show authoritarian leadership has a positive and significant relationship with organizational cynicism, but its relationship with deviant behavior is not confirmed. It was also shown that organizational cynicism has a positive and significant relationship with incidence of deviant behavior. Finally, the role of mediator of organizational cynicism in the relationship between Machiavellian leadership and deviant behavior was confirmed, and also the mediator role of the authoritarian leadership in the relationship between Machiavellian leadership and deviant behavior was rejected.

In this research, it has been shown that in parallel with the increase of the Machiavellian level of leaders, the rate of authoritarian leadership, organizational cynicism and deviant behavior would also increase. Meanwhile, organizational cynicism, unlike the authoritarian leadership, would increases the intensity of the relationship between Machiavellian leadership and deviant behavior.

  The authoritarian leadership style is one of the negative and unethical styles of leadership and is guided by the dark side styles of leadership. Regarding the negative effects and consequences of this leadership style, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of authoritarian leadership on silence and counterproductive work behaviors, taking into account the mediator's role of representational predicament.  The research is descriptive – correlation. The statistical population of the study consisted of employees of one of the law enforcement agencies of Tehran. The sample size was 89 with regard to the rules for determining the sample size in the PLS method. The sampling method was randomly available.The instruments for collecting data were questionnaire. To analyze the collected data, Vertical Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling and Smart PLS software were used.
Research Based on the research results, the authoritarian leadership has a positive and significant impact on counterproductive work behaviors and representational predicament. The results showed that there is no significant relationship between authoritarian leadership with employees silence and the representational predicament with counterproductive work behaviors. Also, the mediator's role of representational predicament in the relationship between autocratic leadership and silence was confirmed but the mediator's role of representational predicament was not confirmed in the relationship between authoritarian leadership and counterproductive work behaviors. ndividuals are reluctant for a variety of reasons to express their true opinion about their leader and its characteristics and organizational conditions. Raising their awareness and ensuring that no negative consequences are made if they are genuinely honest can increase the level of confidence in the results.  Excessive and complex bureaucracies and the existence of some protective and information restrictions in the organization under study were the most important limitations of this study. Such restrictions reduce the amount of data to be analyzed. Future research in organizations with no limitations on data collection can increase the level of confidence and confidence in the results.  The article adds to managerial research, and particularly in the field of organizational leadership and the dark side of leadership, by examining the impact of authoritarian leadership on silent and counterproductive work behaviors given the mediating role of representational predicament.
