The diagram illustrates the final research model, depicting the relationships between various organizational factors. The model starts with the organizational dark side, which includes fake leadership and fake news, negatively impacting intra-organizational trust. This trust, in turn, positively influences organizational citizenship behavior. The behavior then affects an enabler, which subsequently contributes to organizational recovery. The diagram shows path coefficients indicating the strength and direction of these relationships. The coefficients for the downstream path from trust to organizational citizenship behavior, enabler, and recovery are consistent across both models. The specific impacts of fake leadership and fake news are displayed, followed by the shared path coefficients for the organizational recovery mechanism.Final research model.

Note: Coefficients for the downstream path (trust > OCB > Enabler > Recovery) were robust across both models and are displayed once
