We draw on deonance theory and social learning theory to propose a framework that explains how individual team members with varying levels of leader–member exchange (LMX) with their team leader have different emotional and behavioral responses upon observing teammate-directed abusive supervision. After employing a social relations paradigm with two-wave round-robin data collected from a sample of 378 engineers on 89 work teams, we did not find that witnessing teammate-targeted abusive supervision increased sympathy for the targeted teammates, but we did find that observers with a higher level of LMX were more likely to legitimize such abuse and less likely to sympathize with its victims. Furthermore, we found that for individuals with a higher level of LMX, perceiving leaders' abusive supervision of teammates was negatively related to providing help to those teammates through the mediating role of sympathy for the teammates.

领导者与成员交流的阴暗面：当领导者针对队友进行辱骂时，观察者的反应

我们利用 deonance 理论和社会学习理论提出了一个框架，该框架解释了在观察到队友指导的虐待监督时，与团队领导具有不同级别的领导-成员交换 (LMX) 的单个团队成员如何具有不同的情绪和行为反应。在使用从 89 个工作团队的 378 名工程师样本中收集的两波循环数据的社会关系范式后，我们没有发现目睹以队友为目标的辱骂性监督会增加对目标队友的同情，但我们确实发现观察者LMX 水平较高的人更有可能使此类虐待合法化，并且不太可能同情其受害者。此外，我们发现，对于 LMX 水平较高的个人，感知领导者的
