Based on the theory of self-consistency, this study explores the correlation between negative workplace gossip and employees' organizational self-esteem by revealing the intermediary role of workplace exclusion and poor-order atmosphere. A survey of 228 employees from enterprises in Shandong and Shanghai showed that negative workplace gossip exerted a significant negative impact on employees' organizational self-esteem, suggesting that negative workplace gossip reduces employees' organizational self-esteem in the context of Chinese organizations. In addition, workplace exclusion exerted a complete intermediary effect between negative workplace gossip and employees' organizational self-esteem, and poor-order atmosphere perception played a partial intermediary role. This study uncovers the black box that negative workplace gossip affects employees' organizational self-esteem and has a strong enlightening significance for management practice.
