Abstract
We explored the relationship between abusive supervision (AS) and employee job performance (EJP) by conducting a survey of a group of employees (N = 630) of Chinese public and private companies. We investigated possible mediation in the relationship by leadership justice, supervisory trust, and self-efficacy from three perspectives, namely, self-concept and individual socialization, organizational justice, and leader–member exchange. The results showed that there was a negative relationship between AS and EJP that was mediated by leadership justice, supervisory trust, and self-efficacy. We also found that the negative relationship between AS and EJP was affected by the joint mediating effect of leadership justice and supervisory trust. Implications for academicians and practitioners are discussed.
