Abstract: This study focuses on how dark tetrad personality traits cause cyberbullying among female employees, affecting their mental health and ultimately leading to turnover intention. A large population-based study among female bankers was conducted by disseminating 561 questionnaires in the major cities of Pakistan. The self-reported scales assessing dark tetrad personality traits, cyberbullying, mental health, and turnover intention were included in the questionnaire. Serial multiple mediation analysis was conducted to analyse the association of cyberbullying and mental health among dark tetrad and turnover intention. The findings showed a positive relationship between dark tetrad personality traits and turnover intention. Further, cyberbullying and mental health mediate the relationship between dark tetrad personality traits and turnover intention. The most interesting study finding depicts that sadism is the most common, whereas narcissism is the least hazardous personality trait affecting the employees' mental health and turnover intention.
