propose that leaders’ NIFTs influence not only employees themselves but also the parties with whom employees interact. A theoretical model is tested by using multisource data from 210 frontline service employees, their direct supervisors, and their colleagues. Their results show that through the serial mediation of abusive supervision and employees’ negative mood, leaders’ NIFTs decrease employees’ service performance but do not decrease their altruistic behavior toward colleagues. Furthermore, leaders’ NIFTs decrease both employees’ service performance and altruistic behavior toward colleagues through the serial mediation of leader-member exchange (LMX) and employees’ psychological empowerment.
