Model of Abusive Supervision
The supervisors’ perceptions of injustice or violation lead to abusive supervision and this relation is moderated by characteristics of subordinates. Thereafter, abuse supervision leads to several negative outcomes on attitudes, resistance, aggression and deviance, performance contributions, psychological distress and family well-being. This relationship is moderated by supervisors’ characteristics and behavior, subordinates’ work context and subordinate characteristics and behavior.
