Abstract

In spite of a lot of researches regarding abusive supervision in organizations, few studies has focus on the effects of abusive supervision on employees’ family problems. In this study, the effects of supervisor’s abusive supervision on subordinates’ work-family conflict and family undermining behaviors were studied. In particular, the roles of stress perception as a mediating variable between abusive supervision and dependant variables were examined, and the role of power distance as a moderating variable between supervisor’s abusive supervision and subordinates’ stress was also examined. This study was performed using a sample of about 330 employees who are working in 4 public sector. According to statistical analysis, the findings showed that subordinate’s stress partially mediated the relationships between supervisor’s abusive supervision and subordinates’ work-family conflict, family undermining behaviors. Consistent with hypothesis, the influence of abusive supervision on stress was stronger when subordinates perceived supervisor’s power distance high. Several implications and directions for future research of this study were discussed in discussion and conclusion.
