Abstract
En 中文
Drawing on attribution theory and impression management research; we investigate when and how abused employees engage in different coping strategies and what the interpersonal consequences of the coping strategies are for employees. Specifically; from an employee actor–based perspective; we develop and test a dual-path-mediated moderation model that represents the double-edged sword effect of abusive supervision. Using data from 444 front-line employees; we find that injury initiation motives attribution enhances the positive relationship between abusive supervision and revenge motivation; which in turn is positively related to intimidation; exemplification; and supplication. Conversely; performance promotion motives attribution strengthens the positive relationship between abusive supervision and motivation to reconcile; which in turn is positively associated with ingratiation; self-promotion; and exemplification. Intimidation and supplication are then related to increased interpersonal conflict with leaders; while ingratiation is related to reduced interpersonal conflict with leaders. Theoretical contributions; practical implications; and limitations are discussed.
