Abstract/Summary

Do emotions and affective dispositions affect employees’ counterproductive work behavior tendencies in the face of supervisory abuse? This paper explored negative affect as a mediating variable for the relationship between abusive supervision and counterproductive work behavior (CWB). Internal locus-of-hope and eternal-peer locus-of-hope were also explored as moderating variables for the relationship between abusive supervision, negative affect, and abusive supervision and CWB. Data from 255 real estate employees from the Philippines were collected. Results of the path analysis revealed that negative affect does not mediate the relationship between abusive supervision and CWB. Internal locus-of-hope significantly moderated the relationship between abusive supervision and CWB. Last, External-peer locus-of-hope significantly moderated the relationship between abusive supervision and negative, and abusive supervision and CWB. Overall, the results highlight the potential impact of both locus-of-hope dimensions on affective and behavioral consequences of supervisory abuse.
