The Contemporary research entails the significance of Perceived abusive supervision as a phenomenal type of destructive leadership and it has fatal consequences. The rationale behind this research is to explore the ramifications of perceived abusive supervision over the outcomes of jobs in Information Technology (IT) firms in the cosmopolitan locality of Lahore. To solidify the anticipated relationship between the variables, the most appropriate technique was used. For this study, the field survey employed a self-administered questionnaire. 220 questionnaires were given in order to gather data at various workplaces, and all responses were obtained from the participants. The outcome of this research put forward that perceived abusive supervision is positively associated with job stress, retaliation and negatively associated with job performance. Moreover, the study explains that the Dark triad’s moderator role proposes that Machiavellianism, Narcissism and Psychopathy is inversely related with job performance and directly related with job stress and retaliation. Furthermore, this research shows that the association of perceived abusive supervision with job performance, job stress and retaliation is stronger when Machiavellianism is high as well as the association of perceived abusive supervision with job performance, job stress and retaliation is also stronger when Psychopathy is high. In addition, the present study proposes that when Narcissism is high then the association among perceived abusive supervision and job performance is not stronger but relationship between job stress with perceived abusive supervision and retaliation is stronger when Narcissism is high.
