Abusive Supervision Climate: A Multiple-Mediation Model of its Impact on Group Outcomes
提出辱虐管理氛围这一概念,研究其如何通过社会认同和集体效能两个中介机制影响团队的社会性和任务性结果,适合关注团队层面辱虐管理效应的学者。
In this paper, we introduce the construct of abusive supervision climate, the collective perceptions employees hold regarding abusive supervision in their work unit. We thereby extend research on abusive supervision to the team level, which allows us to explore its relationship with outcomes not addressed by individual-level theories of abuse. First, we explain the emergence of abusive supervision climate through the lens of social information processing theory. Then, drawing on team process and effectiveness models, we develop a multiple-mediation model that identifies two distinct mechanisms by which abusive supervision climate impacts group-level outcomes: social identity and collective efficacy. Results demonstrate that abusive supervision climate influences social- and task-related group outcomes through these two mediation processes.
