Worse-off than others? Abusive supervision's effects in teams

摘要

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine how relative abusive supervision (i.e. team member's perceived abusive supervision as compared with the team mean) influences team member's job attitudes through the mediating role of relative leader-member exchange. This study also explores the cross-level moderating roles of team-level abusive supervision and team-level leader-member exchange (LMX) in the process.
