A Review of the Impact and Coping Methods of Abusive Supervision on Employees

摘要

In reality, abusive supervision will bring many problems to organization governance. With the deepening of research on this management style, the related researches of abusive supervision are constantly developing. From the perspectives of specific research content and methods, this paper summarizes the relevant literatures on the impact and coping methods of abusive supervision on employees. The results of these studies show that abusive supervision has a negative impact on employee innovation and performance, satisfaction and emotions, and knowledge sharing, while it is positively related to employee deviance or anti-productive behavior and turnover intentions. In addition, employee psychological changes can bring positive effects to abusive supervision, and the active expression of subordinates and the good communication with superiors are both effective ways to deal with the problems of abusive supervision. However, the existing research system in these areas is still incomplete. Future research can systematically research the impact and coping methods of abusive supervision in organizations from the level of individuals, teams, and organizations.
