Abstract:
The study analyzes the effect of abusive supervision on workplace deviant behavior and organizational citizenship behavior, and explores the effect of interpersonal conflict and self efficacy in this process. A sample of 345 supervisor-subordinate dyads collected is used for structural equation and regression analysis. The results indicate that: (1) Abusive supervision has a significantly positive impact on workplace deviant behavior, and a negative impact on organizational citizenship behavior; (2) Abusive supervision has significant impacts on workplace deviant behavior and organizational citizenship behavior by the partly mediating effect of interpersonal conflict; (3)Self efficacy moderates the relationship between abusive supervision and interpersonal conflict. The findings of this study can contribute to opening “black box” between abusive supervision and work behaviors, and also have important enlightenment to the practice of management.
