<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the direct effects of Tyrannical Leadership on Leader Trust, Performance, and Loyalty, as well as evaluate the mediating role of Leader Trust. A quantitative approach was employed, with a population consisting of Polri members and a sample selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method. The findings revealed that Tyrannical Leadership had no significant effect on Leader Trust and Loyalty but had a small significant effect on Performance. In contrast, Leader Trust had a significant and strong influence on both Performance and Loyalty. These results highlight the importance of trust as a key element in enhancing subordinate performance and loyalty, while also demonstrating that tyrannical leadership is less effective in fostering productive working relationships. This study recommends Polri to adopt a trust-based leadership style focused on transparent communication, consistency, and the creation of a fair and supportive work environment]]>
