Abstract In a time of great change, the negative effects brought by the passive experience of employees' work alienation should not be overlooked. How leaders reduce employees' work alienation has become a hot issue both in the academia and practice. By synthesizing social exchange theory and social information processing theory, based on the view of organizational collectivism, this study aims to investigate the mechanism that self-sacrificial leadership influence on employee work alienation, using data gathered through a survey of 322 valid samples. The results show that self-sacrificial leaderships had a significant multilevel negative effect on subordinates' work alienation, and supervisor-subordinate relationship partly mediated the effect of self-sacrificial leadership on work alienation; organizational collectivism not only mediated the cross-level effect of self-sacrificial leaderships on work alienation, but also significantly moderated the negative effect of supervisor-subordinate relationship on work alienation.
