Abstract

When an abusive supervisor exhibits goal-focused leadership, does goal-focused leadership buffer or deteriorate the impact of abusive supervision on subordinates? Although leaders normally exhibit different leadership styles at the same time, little effort has been made to examine how different leadership styles affect subordinates. We also investigate the three-way interaction among abusive supervision, goal-focused leadership, and conscientiousness on counterproductive work behavior (CWB). With two multinational samples, our findings consistently indicate that subordinates exposed to more goal-focused leadership along with abusive supervision are significantly more likely to engage in CWB. In addition, we find a three-way interaction such that the relationship between abusive supervision and subordinates’ CWB is the strongest among subordinates who have low conscientiousness when leaders exhibit a high level of goal-focused leadership.

以目标为中心的滥用型领导：自觉性对下属反工作行为的缓解作用

当滥用权力的上司表现出以目标为中心的领导力时，以目标为中心的领导力会缓冲还是恶化滥用权力的上司对下属的影响？虽然领导者通常会同时表现出不同的领导风格，但很少有人研究不同的领导风格会如何影响下属。我们还研究了滥用性监督、以目标为中心的领导力和自觉性三者之间的相互作用对反生产性工作行为（CWB）的影响。在两个跨国样本中，我们的研究结果一致表明，下属在受到更多目标导向型领导和滥用性监督的同时，也更有可能出现 CWB。此外，我们还发现了一种三方互动关系，即当领导者表现出高水平的目标导向型领导力时，在自觉性较低的下属中，滥用性监督与下属的 CWB 之间的关系最为密切。JEL 分类：D23
