摘要

This paper examined the processes linking abusive supervision to employee workplace deviant behaviors by focusing on the mediating effect of leader justice. The analysis of data from 224 employees revealed that: (1) Abusive supervision has significant effect on supervisor-oriented deviance, coworker-oriented deviance and organization-oriented deviance; (2) Leader justice mediates the relationships between abusive supervision and the supervisor-oriented organization-oriented deviance dimensions of workplace deviant behaviors.
