ABSTRACT: Abusive
supervision is closely related to the negative psychological reaction of
employees. This paper

insecurity. A moderated
mediation model is put forward. Study used questionnaire to investigate the

a direct impact on job insecurity, and also has indirect impact on job insecurity through
the LMX; 2) The power distance has a moderated effect on the mediated role of
LMX. To be
