Abstract

ABSTRACT Extant research on abusive supervision recognizes that attributes of the supervisor, subordinate, and situation contribute to abuse. However, little research has examined the interplay of all three factors in predicting abusive supervision. Thus, we first take an actor-focused perspective and identify supervisor trait anger and moral justification as “hot” and “cold” personality traits that encompass a preparedness to aggress and serve as antecedents of subordinates’ perceptions of abusive supervision. Then, we integrate trait activation theory to examine both subordinates’ self-esteem and supervisors’ job stressors as trait-relevant moderators. We predict two-way and three-way interactions for both supervisor trait anger and moral justification. Using a multisource, field study, we found general support for the hypothesized effects. We discuss the implications of our findings for research and practice.

有毒三合一:主管特质、下属自尊、主管压力源与虐待管理知觉的关系
目前对滥用监督的研究表明,上司、下属和情境的属性会导致滥用监督。然而,很少有研究考察这三个因素在预测监管滥用方面的相互作用。因此,我们首先采取以行动者为中心的视角,将主管特质——愤怒和道德辩护——确定为“热”和“冷”的人格特质,包括对攻击的准备,并作为下属对滥用监督的感知的前因。然后,我们结合特质激活理论来检验下属的自尊和主管的工作压力源作为特质相关的调节因素。我们预测了主管特质愤怒和道德辩护的双向和三方互动。通过一项多源的实地研究,我们发现了对假设效应的普遍支持。我们讨论了我们的发现对研究和实践的影响。

期刊介绍: Human Performance publishes research investigating the nature and role of performance in the workplace and in organizational settings and offers a rich variety of information going beyond the study of traditional job behavior. Dedicated to presenting original research, theory, and measurement methods, the journal investigates individual, team, and firm level performance factors that influence work and organizational effectiveness. Human Performance is a respected forum for behavioral scientists interested in variables that motivate and promote high-level human performance, particularly in organizational and occupational settings. The journal seeks to identify and stimulate relevant research, communication, and theory concerning human capabilities and effectiveness. It serves as a valuable intellectual link between such disciplines as industrial-organizational psychology, individual differences, work physiology, organizational behavior, human resource management, and human factors.
