Relation of Supervisor Social Control to Employee Substance Use: Considering the Dimensionality of Social Control Temporal Context of Substance Use and Substance Legality

摘要

Objective:Research on supervisor social control provided little evidence for a relation to employee alcohol use, and only one study explored illicit drug use. Based on past research, several hypotheses were developed that the relation between supervisor social control and substance use depends on (a) the dimension social control (contact vs. enforcement), (b) the temporal context of substance use (on the job vs. off the job), and (c) substance legality (alcohol vs. illicit drugs).
