Exploring the Model of Abusive Supervision and Employee’s Turnover Intention: Is Neuroticism a Moderator?

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is twofold. First is to examine the relationship between employee’s perception of abusive supervision and their turnover intention. Second is to investigate the moderating role of neuroticism on this relationship. The data was collected from 500 employees working at Rural Bank (BPR) in Surakarta, Indonesia through self-report questionnaires. The finding of the study confirms that abusive supervision is positively related to subordinates’ turnover intention. The study also reveals that neuroticism moderated the relationship between abusive supervision and turnover intention.
