Grounded in the job demands-resources model, this study investigated two unique dual pathways: psychological safety and negative emotions in the narcissistic leadership project turnover intention relationship and further investigates the moderating role of job control in the relationship between narcissistic leadership and these psychological pathways. Employing purposive sampling, data were gathered from 308 IT project team members through time-lagged research design. Results: indicate that narcissistic leadership enhances project turnover intention by reducing psychological safety and intensifying negative emotions. Moreover, high levels of job control mitigate the adverse effects of narcissistic leadership. The study provides several contributions to existing project management literature.
