The present study examines a mediated moderation model of the effects of conscientiousness and coping strategies on the relationship between abusive supervision and employees' job performance. Across 2 studies conducted in India, we found evidence that the relationship between abusive supervision and job performance was weaker when employees were high in conscientiousness. In addition, we found that the use of an avoidance coping strategy facilitated a negative relationship between abusive supervision and performance. Finally, we found that the moderating effects of conscientiousness were mediated by the use of avoidance coping strategies. Our findings contribute to theories of abusive supervision, personality, coping strategies, and job performance.
本研究考察了尽责性和应对策略对辱骂型领导与员工工作绩效之间关系的中介调节模型。通过在印度进行的两项研究,我们发现当员工尽责性较高时,辱骂型领导与工作绩效之间的关系较弱。此外,我们发现回避应对策略的使用促进了辱骂型领导与绩效之间的负相关关系。最后,我们发现尽责性的调节作用是通过回避应对策略的使用来中介的。我们的研究结果为辱骂型领导、人格、应对策略和工作绩效的理论做出了贡献。
