Eighty-four sets of groups with 569 respondents were collected from workers in Taiwanese and Chinese companies. Results suggested that employees of corporate psychopathic supervisors will engage in more employee cynicism behavior which in turn, exacerbates their subjective well-being. Belief in a just world moderated the relationship between employees of corporate psychopathic supervisors and employee cynicism.
