First, abusive supervision is conceptualized in a confused manner that conflates followers’ subjective evaluations of abuse with leaders’ behaviors. Second, we consider how conceptual confusion is reflected in and undermines dominant measurement tools. Third, we identify and critique overreliance on cross-sectional survey-based studies and vignette experiments, which vary considerably in the extent to which they can evidence causal effects. Fourth, we consider the fact that abusive supervision is a low base rate phenomenon (i.e., is rarely reported). Using novel and simulated data we demonstrate that most past research is ill-equipped to make claims about the effects of intermediate or high levels of abusive supervision. Throughout, we explain how each challenge limits past research and offer achievable recommendations for a fundamental rethink of abusive supervision. In the discussion, we synthesize the recommendations for rethinking the conceptualization, measurement, and empirical study of abusive supervision.

By using a combination of a quasi-electoral experiment (mixed-ideological election in which the margin of victory is close to zero) and a regression discontinuity methodology, we tested whether right-wing mayors would see more private business created (as aligned with party objectives) than left-wing mayors during their tenure.

Based on a sample of over 400,000 new firms in over 3,155 Brazilian municipalities, we confirmed our hypothesis for right-wing mayors only.
