Abstract

We conduct a bibliometric analysis of abusive supervision as a valuable supplement to prior quantitative and qualitative reviews. Based on studies published between 2000 and 2023 in the Web of Science database, we identify major patterns in the evolution of the field, intellectual structure, and research trends through historiography, co-citation, and co-occurrence analyses. A dominant paradigm emerges, focusing on the antecedents, outcomes, and mechanisms of abusive supervision. Additionally, we highlight key seminal works shaping the abusive supervision domain and explore its connections to various leadership constructs. Building on these findings, we propose a framework and future research agenda that highlights the need for conceptual rethinking, exploration of extended topics, development of coping matrices, integrated investigation of abusive supervision outcomes, and consideration of a social network perspective. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the abusive supervision field, its evolution over time, and its future directions.

滥用监管的文献计量学回顾

我们对滥用监管进行文献计量学分析，作为之前定量和定性综述的宝贵补充。基于Web of Science数据库2000年至2023年间发表的研究，我们通过历史编纂、共被引和共现分析，确定了该领域演变的主要模式、知识结构和研究趋势。一个主要的范式出现了，集中在滥用监督的前提，结果和机制。此外，我们强调了塑造滥用监督领域的关键开创性工作，并探讨了其与各种领导结构的联系。在这些发现的基础上，我们提出了一个框架和未来的研究议程，强调需要进行概念反思，探索扩展主题，开发应对矩阵，对滥用监管结果进行综合调查，并考虑社会网络视角。本研究提供了一个全面的了解虐待监督领域，其演变的时间和未来的方向。

期刊介绍： The Human Resource Management Review (HRMR) is a quarterly academic journal dedicated to publishing scholarly conceptual and theoretical articles in the field of human resource management and related disciplines such as industrial/organizational psychology, human capital, labor relations, and organizational behavior. HRMR encourages manuscripts that address micro-, macro-, or multi-level phenomena concerning the function and processes of human resource management. The journal publishes articles that offer fresh insights to inspire future theory development and empirical research. Critical evaluations of existing concepts, theories, models, and frameworks are also encouraged, as well as quantitative meta-analytical reviews that contribute to conceptual and theoretical understanding. Subject areas appropriate for HRMR include (but are not limited to) Strategic Human Resource Management, International Human Resource Management, the nature and role of the human resource function in organizations, any specific Human Resource function or activity (e.g., Job Analysis, Job Design, Workforce Planning, Recruitment, Selection and Placement, Performance and Talent Management, Reward Systems, Training, Development, Careers, Safety and Health, Diversity, Fairness, Discrimination, Employment Law, Employee Relations, Labor Relations, Workforce Metrics, HR Analytics, HRM and Technology, Social issues and HRM, Separation and Retention), topics that influence or are influenced by human resource management activities (e.g., Climate, Culture, Change, Leadership and Power, Groups and Teams, Employee Attitudes and Behavior, Individual, team, and/or Organizational Performance), and HRM Research Methods.
