Abusive supervision: serial and moderated mediation effects

ABSTRACTOur paper proposed and tested a research model that examined the interrelationships of abusive supervision, on-the-job embeddedness (JE), affective commitment (AC) to the organization, knowledge sharing (KS), and social community at work using time-lagged data gathered from restaurant workers in Ghana. The findings based on PROCESS macro reveal that on-the JE and AC serially mediate the influence of abusive supervision on KS. The detrimental impact of abusive supervision on AC is stronger among restaurant workers with social community at work at low levels. The indirect negative effect of abusive supervision on KS through AC is stronger when restaurant workers’ social community at work is low. The aforementioned important findings and their implications are discussed.抽象的我們的論文提出並測試了一個研究模型，該模型使用時滯模型來檢驗虐待監督、在職嵌入性（JE）、對組織的情感承諾（AC）、知識共享（KS）和工作中的社交社區之間的相互關係。從加納餐館工作人員收集的數據。基於PROCESS宏觀的研究結果表明，on-JE和AC串聯中介了濫用監督對KS的影響。虐待性監督對 AC 的不利影響在工作社交社區水準較低的餐廳員工中更為嚴重。當餐廳員工在工作中的社交社區較低時，透過 AC 進行的虐待性監督對 KS 的間接負面影響更強。討論了上述重要發現及其影響。KEYWORDS: Abusive supervisionhospitality employeesjob embeddednessknowledge sharingorganizational commitmentsocial community at work關鍵字: 濫用監督旅館業員工工作嵌入知識分享組織承諾工作中的社交社區 AcknowledgementsData used in this study came from part of a larger project.
