In the current study, we investigated the occurrence of abusive retaliation in response to low performance. More specifically, we hypothesize an association between low work performance and abusive supervision, as well as leader-member exchange (LMX) as a moderator of the association. Furthermore, we explored a potential link between abusive supervision and social loafing, and whether work-related negative affect would mediate this link. Data were collected from business organizations in Norway. To alleviate potential common method variance, data were collected separately from leaders and followers. In line with our expectations, we present results indicating that low performing followers are more prone to be abused by their supervisor, particularly if they are in a low quality LMX relationship. Conversely, LMX relationships can have a “buffering” effect on the performance/abusive supervision association. Furthermore, our results suggest abused followers reacted with both work-related negative affect and social loafing. The implications of this latter finding are discussed in light of the ongoing conversation regarding the role of emotions in exchange processes.

对低质量 LMX 关系中低绩效的滥用报复

在当前的研究中,我们调查了针对低绩效的滥用报复的发生。更具体地说,我们假设低工作绩效和滥用监督之间存在关联,以及作为协会主持人的领导成员交换 (LMX)。此外,我们探索了滥用监督和社交闲散之间的潜在联系,以及与工作相关的负面影响是否会调解这种联系。数据来自挪威的商业组织。为了减少潜在的共同方法差异,数据是与领导者和追随者分开收集的。与我们的预期一致,我们提出的结果表明,表现不佳的追随者更容易被他们的主管滥用,特别是如果他们处于低质量的 LMX 关系中。反过来,LMX 关系可以对绩效/滥用监督关联产生“缓冲”效果。此外,我们的结果表明,受虐待的追随者对工作相关的负面影响和社交闲散都有反应。根据正在进行的关于情绪在交换过程中的作用的对话,讨论了后一个发现的含义。
