Drawing on both social learning theory and conservation of resources theory, our research examines the trickle-down effect of abusive supervision across three hierarchical levels: managers, supervisors, and employees. Specifically, we investigate the positive relationship between abusive manager behavior and emotional exhaustion through abusive supervisor behavior. In addition, we explore supervisor task performance as a situational factor and employee promotion focus as an individual factor in the relationship between abusive supervisor behavior and emotional exhaustion. Using data from 190 supervisor–subordinate dyads, the results provide support for our trickle-down model of abusive supervision. Moreover, our results show that the positive relationship between abusive supervisor behavior and emotional exhaustion is stronger when supervisor task performance or employee promotion focus is high. Theoretical and applied implications are discussed.

滥用监督的涓滴效应：主管任务绩效和员工晋升焦点的调节作用

我们的研究借鉴了社会学习理论和资源保护理论，研究了滥用监督在三个层次上的涓滴效应：经理、主管和员工。具体而言，我们通过虐待主管行为调查了虐待经理行为与情绪耗竭之间的正相关关系。此外，我们将主管任务绩效作为情境因素和员工晋升重点作为虐待主管行为与情绪耗竭之间关系的个体因素进行探索。使用来自 190 个主管 - 下属二元组的数据，结果为我们的滥用监督的涓滴模型提供了支持。而且，我们的研究结果表明，当主管任务绩效或员工晋升关注度较高时，虐待主管行为与情绪耗竭之间的正相关关系更强。讨论了理论和应用意义。
