ABSTRACT: In reality, abusive supervision will bring many
problems to organization governance. With the deepening of research on this management
style, the related researches of abusive supervision are constantly developing.
From the perspectives of specific research content and methods, this paper
summarizes the relevant literatures on the impact and coping methods of abusive
supervision on employees. The results of these studies show that abusive
supervision has a negative impact on employee innovation and performance,
satisfaction and emotions, and knowledge sharing, while it is positively
related to employee deviance or anti-productive behavior and turnover
intentions. In addition, employee psychological changes can bring positive
effects to abusive supervision, and the active expression of subordinates and
the good communication with superiors are both effective ways to deal with the problems
of abusive supervision. However, the existing research system in these areas is
still incomplete. Future research can systematically research the impact and
coping methods of abusive supervision in organizations from the level of
individuals, teams, and organizations.
