A total of 204 questionnaires were collected through a survey method, and data analysis was conducted using SPSS 26.

Based on the research findings, leaders should pay attention to their own behavior, treat subordinates well, and prevent the occurrence of employee cheating behavior to enhance organizational effectiveness.
