Download or read book Responding to Abusive Supervision written by Nea Powell and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research examined the effect of social class on the relationship between abusive supervision and workplace deviance. Within the social class literature we found conflicting theoretical arguments regarding the effect that social class would have on responses to abuse. To address this discordance we examined the effect of social class on responses to abusive supervision in four samples using multiple methods. Results confirmed that social class moderates the association between abusive supervision and workplace deviance. Specifically, the effect of abusive supervision on workplace deviance was stronger for higher social classes. In our laboratory research, the use of an abusive supervision prime and a subjective social class manipulation provided preliminary evidence for this effect. Our multi-wave field research provided evidence that these findings extend to actual employee behavior (i.e., interpersonal and organizational deviance). Implications for the abusive supervision literature are discussed.

Book Synopsis Perceived Organizational Support by : Robert Eisenberger
Download or read book Perceived Organizational Support written by Robert Eisenberger and published by American Psychological Association (APA). This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's constantly changing work environment is fraught with job uncertainty, frequent mergers and acquisitions, and a general breakdown of trust between employer and employee. More than ever, it is critical for managers to proactively shift away from devaluing employees as marginal capital to empowering them as human capital. Perceived organizational support-employees' perception of how much an organization values their contribution and cares about their well-being-mutually benefits both employees and their organizations and is integral to sustainable employer–employee relationships. Using organizational support theory and evidence gathered from hundreds of studies, Eisenberger and Stinglhamber demonstrate how perceived organizational support affects employees' well-being, the positivity of their orientation toward the organization and work, and behavioral outcomes favorable to the organization. The authors illustrate these findings with employee experiences and strategic approaches of major organizations such as Southwest Airlines, Wal-Mart, Costco, and Google. Organizational psychologists, management consultants, managers, and graduate students will obtain a clear understanding of perceived organizational support and the practical knowledge needed to foster its development and positive outcomes.
Book Synopsis Research and Theory on Workplace Aggression by : Nathan A. Bowling
Download or read book Research and Theory on Workplace Aggression written by Nathan A. Bowling and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-15 with total page 599 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Workplace aggression is a serious problem for workers and their employers. As such, an improved scientific understanding of workplace aggression has important implications. This volume, which includes chapters written by leading workplace aggression scholars, addresses three primary topics: the measurement, predictors and consequences of workplace aggression; the social context of workplace aggression; and the prevention of workplace aggression. Of note, the book encompasses the various labels used by researchers to refer to workplace aggression, such as 'abusive supervision', 'bullying', 'incivility' and 'interpersonal conflict'. This approach differs from those of previous books on the topic in that it does not focus on a particular type of workplace aggression, but covers an intentionally broad conceptualization of workplace aggression - specifically, it considers aggression from both the aggressors' and the targets' perspectives and includes behaviors enacted by several types of perpetrators, including supervisors, coworkers and customers.
Book Synopsis On the Causes and Consequences of Abusive Supervision by : Lindie Hanyu Liang
Download or read book On the Causes and Consequences of Abusive Supervision written by Lindie Hanyu Liang and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abusive supervision is a growing problem confronting organizations. In this dissertation, across two essays, I examine both the causes and the consequences of abusive supervision. In Essay 1, I answer the question when and why do supervisors abuse poor performing employees. Building on prior work showing that abusive supervision is a reaction to subordinates' poor performance, I develop a self-control framework to outline when and why supervisors abuse poor performing subordinates. In particular, I argue poor performing subordinates instill in supervisors a sense of hostility towards the subordinate, which in turn leads to engaging in abusive supervision. Within this self-control framework, poor performance is more likely to lead to abusive supervision when (a) the magnitude of the hostility experienced is higher (e.g., for those with a hostile attribution bias), or (b) the translation of hostility into abusive supervision is unconstrained (e.g., for those who are low in trait mindfulness). In two experimental studies with full-time supervisors where we manipulated the independent variable (Study 1) and the mediator (Study 2), and in a multi-wave and multi-source field study with data collected from supervisor-subordinate teams (50 supervisors and 206 subordinates) at two time points (Study 3), I found overall support for our predictions. In Essay 2, I answer the question under what circumstances and why the detrimental effect of abusive supervision on subordinate well-being can be mitigated. When a subordinate receives abusive treatment from a supervisor, a natural response is to retaliate against the supervisor. Although the majority of the abusive supervision literature has suggested that retaliation is dysfunctional and should be discouraged, I offer an alternative narrative by suggesting that retaliation may have a beneficial purpose. Based on the notion that retaliation following mistreatment can restore justice for victims, I propose a functional theory of retaliation and predict that retaliation alleviates the effect of abusive supervision on subordinate well-being by virtue of restoring subordinate justice perceptions. In an experimental study using vignettes (Study 1), two additional experimental studies (Study 2A and 2B), and a field survey study with two independent samples (Study 3), I found general support for our predictions. Overall, the results of these two essays shed light on the phenomenon abusive supervision in terms of understanding its causes and consequences.
Book Synopsis Bullying in Different Contexts by : Claire P. Monks
Download or read book Bullying in Different Contexts written by Claire P. Monks and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-02-03 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bullying has a tendency to be associated with aggression between children in the playground, but bullying and abuse can also be observed in other social settings. Bullying in Different Contexts brings together, for the first time, leading international researchers to discuss these behaviours in a wide range of settings, including preschool, school, the home, residential care, prisons, the workplace and cyberspace. The authors provide background to the different contexts, discuss the impact and types of interpersonal aggression and the characteristics of those involved. A final chapter collates the findings from each context to draw conclusions on the similarities and differences between the behaviours, risk factors for involvement and theoretical approaches to explain bullying. This original volume will further our understanding of bullying and inform preventative and intervention work. The authors seek to show how research from diverse settings may inform our understanding of the bullying phenomenon as a whole.
Book Synopsis Losing Your Calm Or Losing Control by : Samuel Hanig
Download or read book Losing Your Calm Or Losing Control written by Samuel Hanig and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Retaliation is a well-established response to abusive supervision. Leading edge research explains the occurrence of supervisor-directed retaliation through processes associated with the strength model of self-control (Baumeister, Vohs, & Tice, 2007). The present research builds on these ideas by considering the role of emotions in the retaliatory processes. 407 participants completed an online survey that included questionnaires measuring personality traits associated with self-control and emotional experiences. Findings indicate that a predisposition to negative emotional experiences predicts retaliatory behavior in response to abusive supervision, even for individuals with a high capacity for self-control. It is suggested that future research should determine whether emotion-driven retaliation is mediated by a desire for revenge.
Book Synopsis Abusive Supervision in Government by : James Gerard Caillier
Download or read book Abusive Supervision in Government written by James Gerard Caillier and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-08-27 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Abusive Supervision in Government Agencies, Caillier uses both quantitative and qualitative survey data, a mixed-method approach, to argue that certain organizational norms and subordinate factors either increase or decrease the presence of abusive supervision in agencies and that when employees experience abusive supervision, their well-being and work attitudes are adversely affected. In addition, a mixed-method approach is used to contend that problems concerning the abusive supervision process are pervasive in agencies. More specifically, many targets of abuse supervision fail to report the incident, and for those who do, agencies seldom do anything to stop abusive supervisors and the overwhelming majority of targets experience some form of retaliation for reporting the abuse. The author also uses qualitative data to argue that many agencies still do not have a robust workplace aggression policy. The author concludes by identifying future directions for research concerning abusive supervision.
Download or read book Cleansing My Abuse written by Zhenyu Liao and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on abusive supervision has predominantly focused on the consequences for victims while overlooking how leaders respond to their own abusive behavior. Drawing from the literature on moral cleansing, we posit that supervisors who engage in abusive behavior may paradoxically engage in more constructive leadership behaviors subsequently as a result of feeling guilty and perceiving loss of moral credits. Results from two experience sampling studies show that, within leaders on a daily basis, perpetrating abusive supervisor behavior led to an increase in experienced guilt and perceived loss of moral credits, which in turn motivated leaders to engage in more constructive person-oriented (consideration) and task-oriented (initiating structure) leadership behaviors. In addition, leader moral attentiveness and moral courage strengthen these indirect effects by amplifying leaders' awareness of their immoral behavior and their willingness and determination to make reparations for such behavior. Our research contributes to the theoretical understanding of leaders' responses toward their own abusive supervisor behavior and provides insights into how and when destructive leadership behaviors may, paradoxically, trigger more constructive behaviors.
Book Synopsis Retribution Or Reconciliation by : Xiaochuan Song
Download or read book Retribution Or Reconciliation written by Xiaochuan Song and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abusive supervision has been linked to a number of negative employee-related issues, including work-related issues such as counterproductive work behaviors and decreased job performance, and non-work related issues, such as work-family conflict, psychological stress, emotional exhaustion, excessive drinking, and health problems. Extant literature has suggested that based on Social Exchange Theory, employees who are victimized by abusive supervision are more likely to engage in workplace deviant behaviors, a response to the abusive supervision. However, from the standpoint of justice maintenance, engaging in workplace deviant behaviors represents the "process" of justice restoration, leaving the "outcome" of justice restoration yet to be examined. In this dissertation, I proposed the reconciliation of the relationship between supervisor and victimized employees is the "outcome" of justice restoration. Meanwhile, through the lens of power asymmetry and organizational conformity, I further proposed that when experiencing abusive supervision, some employees are likely to seek to reconcile the relationship with abusive supervisor without engaging in workplace deviant behaviors, such that employees may seek to reconcile because of the motivation of seeking expediency and pursuing future rewards. Furthermore, I explicated a mediation model that details employees' perception of and reaction to abusive supervision on a long-term basis. Specifically, I found that employees consider abusive supervision to be a justice violation and engage in workplace deviant behavior to restore justice. However, justice restoration behaviors do not necessarily lead to relationship reconciliation. Meanwhile, I found some employees are likely to reconcile their relationship with supervisor without engaging in deviant behaviors. Furthermore, reconciliation is positively related to employees' supervisor satisfaction. Last but not least, employees' perception of supervisor support, the value of a relationship with supervisor, and the need for harmony influence their reactions to abusive supervision. Specifically, employees who perceive a stronger level of supervisor support are more likely to engage in deviant behaviors in response to abusive supervision. Furthermore, employees who placed a greater value on the supervisor relationship and who reported a stronger need for harmony are more likely to reconcile their relationship with the supervisor. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed
Book Synopsis Understanding the High Performance Workplace by : Neal M. Ashkanasy
Download or read book Understanding the High Performance Workplace written by Neal M. Ashkanasy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-10 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book asks the crucial question: When does high performance supervision become abusive supervision? As more organizations push to adopt high performance work practices (HPWP), the onus increasingly falls on supervisors to do whatever it takes to maximize the productivity of their work teams. In this rigorous, research-based volume, international contributors offer insight into how and when seemingly-beneficial workplace practices cross the line from motivation to abuse. By reviewing critical issues in both high performance work practices and abusive supervision, it illuminates the crossover between these two modes of work, and forges a path for future scholarship.
Book Synopsis Reactions to Daily Abusive Supervision by : Rushika De Bruin
Download or read book Reactions to Daily Abusive Supervision written by Rushika De Bruin and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abusive supervision is a widely-studied phenomenon experienced by a multitude of workers across organizations. While abusive supervision is typically studied in terms of negative outcomes (i.e., supervisor-directed retaliation), there is some preliminary evidence that not all consequences of abusive supervision are negative. While there have been several studies exploring employee reactions to abusive supervision, they predominantly take a cross-sectional design perspective. The current study utilized 102 full-time employees from the U.S. who responded to 932 daily surveys assessing personality, workplace behaviors, and justice perceptions. The current study explored how perceptions of abusive supervision changed on a day-to-day basis and how those changes in turn impacted employee reactions, including potential positive outcomes that could stem from abusive supervision (e.g., supervisor-directed OCBs). The current study yielded several results. First, results related to actual employee behaviors demonstrated that abusive supervision was related to a decrease in justice perceptions and OCB engagement and an increase in retaliation. However, these effects did not carry forward to the following days. Rather, employees who retaliated more often reported more abusive supervision, potentially as a justification for their behavior. Second, results related to perceptions demonstrated that justice perceptions led to less abusive supervision and more OCBs during the following days. Hostile attribution bias interacted with perceptions of abuse and perceptions of interactional justice to increase employee retaliation. Third, results related to personality demonstrated that Machiavellianism did not interact with abuse or justice to predict retaliation. Psychopathy interacted with abuse to predict reduced retaliation in cases of low abuse. Narcissism and everyday sadism interacted with justice perceptions to predict more retaliation when the situation was deemed unfair. Lastly, none of the individual differences predicted engagement in supervisor-directed OCBs.

Book Synopsis Precipitating Abusive Supervision by : Jennifer Bozeman
Download or read book Precipitating Abusive Supervision written by Jennifer Bozeman and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the proposed study is to consider why and under which conditions do supervisors engage in abusive behaviours towards their subordinates. To answer my first research question, why do supervisors engage in abusive supervision, I draw on victim precipitation (e.g., Sparks, Glenn, & Dodd, 1977) and conservation of resources (COR; Hobfoll, 1989) theories to argue that certain subordinate performance-related behaviours and characteristics threaten supervisor resources leading to abuse as a stress reaction. To answer my second research question, under which conditions do supervisors engage in abusive supervision, I draw on attribution theory (Heider, 1958; Weiner, 1986). I argue that supervisors abuse subordinates when they attribute responsibility, or blame subordinates for negative performance-related behaviours and characteristics, as a means of protecting or guarding against future resource loss. To answer my research questions, I developed measures for self- and other-perceived general mental ability (GMA) and blame attributions. I obtained data from 211 supervisor-subordinate dyads in Canada and the United States. Respondents were surveyed for information about their work behaviours, characteristics, and relationships. Using Hayes (2013) PROCESS macros, I found partial support for the proposed model and offer refinements to COR and victim precipitation theories. I found relationships between both self- and supervisor-reported subordinate behaviours and characteristics and abusive supervision, largely in the direction hypothesized. I also found supervisor-reported subordinate performance behaviours and perceived GMA to share a stronger relationship with subordinate reports of abusive supervision than subordinate reported behaviours and characteristics in many instances.
Book Synopsis Antisocial Behavior in Organizations by : Robert A. Giacalone
