The present research investigates the intricate dynamics of sadism and organizational cynicism in the hotel industry, specifically focusing on the mediating role of psychological contract breach (PCB) and the potential moderating impact of leader-member exchange (LMX). A quantitative approach was adopted, deploying a three-time points survey to collect data from 350 employees in the hotel sector in China. It was observed that sadism positively predicted cognitive, affective, and behavioral cynicism, all mediated by PCB. Notably, LMX was identified as a key moderator in the relationship between PCB and the three dimensions of organizational cynicism. These findings augment our understanding of the interplay between sadism, organizational cynicism, PCB, and LMX, particularly among hotel employees in China. This research also offers clarity on the multifaceted notion of organizational cynicism
