Abusive supervision and subordinate problem drinking: Taking resistance, stress and subordinate personality into account
研究了辱虐管理与下属问题性饮酒的关系,发现下属尽责性和宜人性高时该关系减弱,支持抵抗视角,但未发现躯体压力的中介作用。
We test hypotheses derived from two alternative perspectives regarding the association between supervisory abuse and subordinate problem drinking. Drawing from the employee resistance literature, we examine the degree to which such an association may be sensitive to variation in subordinate personality. Drawing from the stress literature, we examine the degree to which this association may be mediated by somatic stress. Multi-source data from 1473 blue-collar workers employed in 55 work units, indicates that while the main effect of abusive supervision on problem drinking is attenuated under conditions of high subordinate conscientiousness and agreeableness (consistent with a resistance-based explanation), the main effect is not mediated by somatic stress.
