This study examines how the satisfaction of basic psychological needs—autonomy, competence, and relatedness—influences prosocial rule-breaking (PSRB) among financial sercives professionals. Using the frameworks of self-determination theory and full range leadership theory, the research investigates how transformational and transactional leadership styles moderate these relationships. The goal is to provide empirical insights that inform leadership development, risk management policies, and the design of security controls that support both compliance and employee engagement.
