Abstract :This study aims to determine if cognitive emotion regulation has a mediating role in the relationship between private sector workers\\\' perceptions of toxic leadership and their intention to leave and psychological health. The study employed a quantitative research approach, and 386 private sector employees in the province of Kırşehir provided data via a questionnaire technique. SPSS 21 and AMOS 21 were used to analyze the data. The validity and reliability of the scales employed in the study were assessed using basic validity tests and confirmatory factor analysis. The hypotheses developed within the parameters of the study were also tested using a variety of statistical methods, including correlation analysis, mediation analysis, and structural equation modeling. The study concluded that managers\\\' psychological health and inclinations to leave the company are greatly impacted by toxic leadership behaviors in the private sector. Furthermore, it was found that the association between psychological well-being and toxic leadership is fully by cognitive emotion control.
