Abstract Based on impression management theory and through a longitudinal tracking questionnaire survey on the employees of related companies, this study explores the mechanism of exploitative leadership on employees’ compulsory citizenship behavior (CCB). The results of the empirical study show that exploitative has a positive effect on CCB, and emotional labor (surface acting) has a partial mediating effect. Agreeableness has a positive moderating effect between exploitative leadership and surface acting, exploitative leadership has a more indirect effect on CCB for high agreeableness individuals. Power distance orientation has a negative moderating effect on exploitative leadership and surface acting, and exploitative leadership has a more indirect effect on CCB via for low power distance orientation individuals.
