While abusive supervision is shown to have stress‐related effects on abused subordinates, relatively little is known about the factors capable of mitigating these negative effects and their longer term consequences. Drawing on the 1984 transactional model of stress and coping of Lazarus and Folkman, we predicted that subordinates’ power distance orientation moderates the positive relationship between abusive supervision and subordinates’ interaction avoidance, such that this relationship is attenuated as power distance orientation increases. Because the transactional model suggests that interaction avoidance can increase strain when unresolved stressors accumulate over time, we also predicted that subordinates’ interaction avoidance coping mediates the positive relationship between abusive supervision and subordinates’ emotional exhaustion. To examine these hypotheses, we collected data from 600 employees at three points in time over a 12‐month time period in Japan. The findings supported the predicted moderated and mediated relations, and the overall moderated mediation model.

滥用监督和情绪疲惫：力量距离定向的调节作用和避免互动的调节作用

尽管滥用监督对受虐待的下属有压力相关的影响，但对于减轻这些负面影响的因素及其长期后果知之甚少。基于1984年拉撒路和福克曼的压力和应对的交易模型，我们预测下属的权力距离取向会缓和滥用监督与下属互动回避之间的积极关系，从而这种关系会随着权力距离取向的增加而减弱。由于交易模型表明，当无法解决的压力源随着时间的推移而积累时，避免回避会增加压力，因此我们还预测到下属的避免回避应对会介导虐待性监督与下属情绪疲惫之间的积极关系。为了检验这些假设，我们在日本12个月的三个时间点上从600名员工那里收集了数据。这些发现支持了预期的调解与调解关系以及总体调解模型。
