ABSTRACT: Since the twentieth century, the study of the theory of leadership
qualities has been approaching one hundred years. Recently, abuse supervision
has caused the focus of researchers in organizational behavior. As a typical
representative of disruptive leadership, abusive supervision has become an
important topic in the study of leadership behavior. Abusive supervision refers
to the sustained verbal or non-verbal hostility committed by the supervisor to
the subordinates but does not include the violation of the physical contact class.
Although some studies have explored the mechanism of abusive supervision in
detail, abusive supervision still exists in the organization. By analyzing the
personality traits of abusive leaders and their family environment, the researchers
explained why abusive leaders tended to abuse their subordinates from the
perspective of social exchange and social studies. This interpretation stays at
the general level, and it is difficult to give a reasonable explanation of the
reasons why leaders are abusive to specific individual employees. This article
summarizes the foreign literature, integrates the research on the mechanism of
abusive supervision based on individual level, and then puts forward the future
prospect combined with the domestic research.
