Abstract
Drawing upon the General Aggression Model, we examined the role of subordinates' neuroticism in strengthening the relationship between abusive supervision and workplace deviance. Results revealed that Time 1 abusive supervision was positively related to Time 2 personnel records of workplace deviance measured 18Â months later. Further, subordinates' neuroticism moderated this relationship. Specifically, there was a stronger positive relationship between abusive supervision and workplace deviance for employees with high as opposed to low levels of neuroticism. These findings highlight the need to account for the role of individual differences in influencing subordinates' responses to supervisor hostility. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
