Abstract
The study investigates the positive relationship between abusive supervision and employee burnout. It also explores the mediating role of problem-focused and emotion-focused coping strategies in explaining the relationship between abusive supervision and burnout. The article studies the influence of individual power distance orientation on employees’ burnout. Cross-sectional data of 294 responses were collected from Indian employees and analysed using Smart PLS. Results confirm that abusive supervision is positively related to burnout. Also, only avoidance of contact and social support mediated the effect of abusive supervision on burnout; the multi-group analysis revealed no significant difference in terms of power distance orientation.
期刊介绍:
IIMB Management Review (IMR) is a quarterly journal brought out by the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore. Addressed to management practitioners, researchers and academics, IMR aims to engage rigorously with practices, concepts and ideas in the field of management, with an emphasis on providing managerial insights, in a reader friendly format. To this end IMR invites manuscripts that provide novel managerial insights in any of the core business functions. The manuscript should be rigorous, that is, the findings should be supported by either empirical data or a well-justified theoretical model, and well written. While these two requirements are necessary for acceptance, they do not guarantee acceptance. The sole criterion for publication is contribution to the extant management literature.Although all manuscripts are welcome, our special emphasis is on papers that focus on emerging economies throughout the world. Such papers may either improve our understanding of markets in such economies through novel analyses or build models by taking into account the special characteristics of such economies to provide guidance to managers.
