Abstract
An abusive leader uses humiliation, belittlement and manipulation to influence employees in achieving work-related goals. A better understanding of the antecedents and mechanisms that promote abusive supervision would help tailor organizational processes in order to reduce its occurrence and negative consequences. However, issues related to the measurement of abusive supervision necessitate attention, such as the multiplicity of tools and variants, and possible differences when measuring the construct across cultures. This systematic review focuses on empirical prepandemic studies published between 2015-2020 that have quantitatively measured Tepper's (2000) abusive supervision, and aims to increase knowledge regarding the targeted measurement issues. The goal is to help researchers and practitioners in choosing and adapting their measuring instrument in order to more effectively capture the construct.
