  • Abusive Supervision

    Bennett J Tepper, Lauren Simon et al.ARTICLEAnnual Review of Organizational…2017

    The overarching purpose of this article is to review and synthesize the accumulated evidence that explores the causes and consequences of abusive supervision in work organizations. Our review is organized in three sections. In the first section, we discuss research trends and provide clarification regarding the pressing and not-so-pressing problems with the way that abusive supervision is ordinarily conceptualized and studied. In the second secti…

  • A cross‐cultural examination of subordinates' perceptions of and reactions to abusive supervision

    Open AccessRyan M Vogel, Michael S Mitchell et al.ARTICLEJournal of Organizational Behavior2014Cited by: 16References: 16

    This manuscript explores cross‐cultural differences in reactions to perceived abusive supervision. Based on an integration of fairness heuristic theory with principles about cross‐cultural differences in the importance of hierarchical status, we theorize that subordinates from the Anglo culture perceive and react to abusive supervision more negatively than subordinates from the Confucian Asian culture. The predictions were tested within two field…

  • A Social Context Model of Envy and Social Undermining

    Michelle K Duffy, Kristin L Scott et al.ARTICLEAcademy of Management Journal2012

    We integrate moral disengagement, social identification, and social norms theories to develop, test, and replicate a model that explains how and when envy is associated with social undermining. In Study 1, a two-wave study of hospital employees, results support the prediction that the mediated effect of envy on social undermining behavior through moral disengagement is stronger when employees have low social identification with coworkers. Study 2…

  • Predictors of Abusive Supervision

    Bennett J Tepper, Sherry E Moss et al.ARTICLEAcademy of Management Journal2011

    The moral exclusion literature identifies three previously unexamined predictors of abusive supervision: supervisor perceptions of deep-level dissimilarity, relationship conflict, and subordinate performance. Invoking theory and research on workplace diversity, relationship conflict, and victim precipitation, we model the three predictors as associated with abusive supervision. Path-analytic tests using data collected from supervisor-subordinate …

  • A case for recognizing distinctions among constructs that capture interpersonal mistreatment in work organizations

    Open AccessBennett J Tepper, Christine A HenleARTICLEJournal of Organizational Behavior2010Cited by: 16References: 10

    Leading organizational behavior scholars have argued that construct proliferation threatens the interpretability of interpersonal mistreatment research and have argued that researchers should employ the same terminology to refer to constructs that have been studied under distinct labels (e.g., bullying, deviance, retaliation, abuse, undermining). We argue that most of the construct labels researchers regularly employ capture meaningful theoretica…

  • Abusive supervision, intentions to quit, and employees’ workplace deviance

    Open AccessBennett J Tepper, J C Carr et al.ARTICLEOrganizational Behavior and Human…2009

  • Abusive supervision and subordinates' organization deviance.

    Bennett J Tepper, Christine A Henle et al.ARTICLEJournal of Applied Psychology2008

    The authors developed an integrated model of the relationships among abusive supervision, affective organizational commitment, norms toward organization deviance, and organization deviance and tested the framework in 2 studies: a 2-wave investigation of 243 supervised employees and a cross-sectional study of 247 employees organized into 68 work groups. Path analytic tests of mediated moderation provide support for the prediction that the mediated…

  • Moderating effects of political skill, perceived control, and job‐related self‐efficacy on the relationship between negative affectivity and physiological strain

    Open AccessKelly L Zellars, Pamela L Perrewe et al.ARTICLEJournal of Organizational Behavior2007Cited by: 1References: 14

    The present study examined whether employees high in negative affectivity (NA) are destined to experience strain at a higher level than those low in NA. We used data collected from 230 employees to investigate the moderating effects of political skill, as a form of interpersonal control, on the relationship between NA and physiological strain. As hypothesized, NA was positively related to physiological strain (i.e., facial muscle tension as measu…

  • Procedural Injustice, Victim Precipitation, and Abusive Supervision

    Open AccessBennett J Tepper, Michelle K Duffy et al.ARTICLEPersonnel Psychology2006

    We used data collected from a field survey of 334 supervisor–subordinate dyads to test a model of the antecedents of abusive supervision. Path analytic tests of moderated mediation provided support for our prediction that supervisors' depression mediates the relationship between supervisors' procedural justice and subordinates' perceptions of their supervisors' abusiveness and that the mediation framework is stronger when subordinates are higher …

  • Abusive supervision and subordinates' organizational citizenship behavior.

    Kelly L Zellars, Bennett J Tepper et al.ARTICLEJournal of Applied Psychology2002

    The relationship between subordinates' perceptions of abusive supervision and supervisors' evaluations of subordinates' organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) was explored among a sample of 373 Air National Guard members and their military supervisors. As predicted, the relationship between abusive supervision and subordinates' OCB was stronger among subordinates who defined OCB as extra-role behavior (compared with those defining OCB as in-ro…

  • Personality moderators of the relationship between abusive supervision and subordinates' resistance.

    Bennett J Tepper, Michelle K Duffy et al.ARTICLEJournal of Applied Psychology2001

    Results of a study using data collected at 2 points in time, separated by 6 months, suggested that subordinates resisted their supervisors' downward influence tactics with greater frequency when their supervisors were more abusive and that subordinates' personality moderated the effects of abusive supervision. The relationship between abusive supervision and subordinates' dysfunctional resistance was stronger among subordinates who were lower in …

  • Further Assessment of the Structure of Hinkin and Schrlesheim's Measures of Interpersonal Power

    Open AccessBrian Shaffer, Brian C Shaffer et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1997

    Confirmatory factor analysis results for Hinkin and Schriesheim's measures of interpersonal power are reported. Consistent with French and Raven's theoretical work, a five-factor oblique model provided the best fit to the data in two independent samples. No support was obtained for a two-factor model consisting of Position Power (Coercive, Reward, and Legitimate power items) and Personal Power (Referent and Expert power items). For the five-facto…

  • Structural Validity of the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire

    Open AccessBennett J Tepper, Paul M PercyARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1994

    Two studies investigate the latent structure of items taken from the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ). In the first study, item-level confirmatory factor analyses establish the superiority of models in which transformational and transactional leadership items load on separate factors. However, the results do not provide unequivocal support for the operational distinctiveness of items measuring charismatic leadership and inspirational le…

  • Discriminant and Convergent Validity of the Problem Solving Style Questionnaire

    Open AccessBennett J Tepper, Linda A Tetrault et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1993

    This investigation assesses the validity of the Problem Solving Style Questionnaire's (PSSQ) two subscales (abstractness/concreteness and action/reflection). Confirmatory factor analyses with the PSSQ and Honey and Mumford's (1982) Learning Styles Questionnaire provide support for the convergent and discriminant validity of the PSSQ. Although further examination of the psychometric properties of the PSSQ is warranted, the PSSQ represents an encou…

  • Development and Validation of New Scales to Measure Kolb's (1985) Learning Style Dimensions

    Open AccessJose Eulogio Romero, Bennett J Tepper et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1992

    Given the psychometric shortcomings of existing measures of Kolb's (1985) learning style modes, new scales are developed and administered to two samples ( N = 509 and 153). Subsequent analyses establish the internal-consistency and test-retest reliability of the scales, and the two-dimensional structure of the instrument is confirmed by multiple confirmatory factor analyses in both samples. Finally, relationships between learning style scores and…

  • Development and Preliminary Validation of a New Scale (LMX-6) to Measure Leader-Member Exchange in Organizations

    Open AccessChester A Schriesheim, Linda L Neider et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1992

    Based on conceptualizing leader-member exchange quality as comprised of the three subdimensions of perceived contribution to the exchange, loyalty, and positive affect, a short (6-item) new LMX scale was developed (LMX-6). Using data from two samples (N = 281 and 115), the three-dimensional structure of the new scale was confirmed by multiple maximum likelihood confirmatory factors analyses in each sample separately. The two-and one-week test-ret…
